Breakdown - Mariah Carey

Intro

break break down 
still it breakin' me on down 
break break down 
still it bring me on down 
break break down 
still it breakin' me on down 
break break down 
still it breakin' me on down. 
Verse 1

mariah: you called yesterday to basically say 
that you care for me but that you're just not in love 
immediately i pretended to be feeling similarily 
and led you to believe i was o.k 
to just walk away from the one thing 
that's unyielding and sacred to me 
CHORUS

well i guess i'm trying not to be nonchalant about it 
and i'm going to extremes to prove i'm fine without you 
but in reality i'm slowly losing my mind 
underneath the guise of smile gradually i'm dying inside 
friends ask me how i feel and i lie convincingly 
cuz i don't want to reveal the fact that i'm suffering 
so i wear my disguise til i go home at night 
and i turn down all the lights and then i break down and cry 
Verse 2

mariah: so what do you do when somebody so 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" 
(gotta get control, roll, roll, roll on) 4X 
do you hold on in vain as they as they just slip away 
CHORUS

well i guess i'm trying not to be nonchalant about it 
and i'm going to extremes to prove i'm fine without you 
but in reality i'm slowly losing my mind 
underneath the guise of smile gradually i'm dying inside 
friends ask me how i feel and i lie convincingly 
cuz i don't want to reveal the fact that i'm suffering 
so i wear my disguise til i go home at night 
and i turn down all the lights and then i break down and cry 
Interlude

Wish: yeah, c' mon, yeah, c' mon, c' mon 
break break break down 
roll roll roll on 
still it breakin' me on down 
roll roll roll on 
break break break down 
roll roll roll on 
still it breakin' me on down 
Bridge

Wish: better break it down 
only if you let it 
everyday the situation is rockin' my mind 
tryin' to break me down 
but i won't let it 
forget it ( forget it) 

Krayzie: i'll be feelin' like it gonna break me down 
turnin' me around 
stressin' me out 
i'm thinkin it gonna get out 
and let me 
release some stress ( stress ) 

Wish: don't ever wanna feel no pain ( pain ) 
hoping for the sun 
but it looks like rain ( rain, rain, rain ) 
oh, i just wanna maintain 

Krayzie: yeah, i'm feelin' precious, yo 
but never the less 
krayzie won't fall 
so-ber, is headin' near ( near ) 
CHORUS

well i guess i'm trying not to be nonchalant about it 
and i'm going to extremes to prove i'm fine without you 
but in reality i'm slowly losing my mind 
underneath the guise of smile gradually i'm dying inside 
friends ask me how i feel and i lie convincingly 
cuz i don't want to reveal the fact that i'm suffering 
so i wear my disguise til i go home at night 
and i turn down the lights and then i break down and cry 
Repeat 2X 

( break break down... down until fade )
