Mariah Carey - Breakdown





 

Artist: Mariah Carey
Album: Butterfly
Title: Breakdown

VERSE 1
You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to feel similarly
And led you to believe I was O.K.
To just walk away from the thing
That's unyielding and scared to me
CHORUS 1
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly loosing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry
VERSE 2
So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't
got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing "I will survive"
Do you lash out and say: "How dare you leave this way"
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
CHORUS 2
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly loosing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry
Bone Thugs:
Gonna break it down,
Only if you let it
Everyday the situations rackin my mind tryin to break me down
but I won't let it forget it
I be feelin like you're putting me down, kickin me 'round, stressin me
out.
I think I better go and get out and let me release some stress.
Don't ever wanna feel no pain (pain)
hoping for the sun but it looks like rain (rain, rain, rain)
Lord I just wanna maintain
Yeah, can feel the pressures yo, but never the less Krazy won't
fall...it's over, it's endin here.........
CHORUS 3
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly loosing my my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal that fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry
