Breakdown

Break, break down
Steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down
Steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down (mmm, hmm)
Steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down (mm, hm)
Steady breakin' me on down (la, da, da, da, da)

You called yesterday, to basically say
That you care for me, but that you're just not in love
Immediately, I pretended to be feelin' similarly
And that you didn't believe it was okay
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality, I'm slowly losin' my mind
Underneath the disguise 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 the fact that I'm suffering
So, I wear my disguise until I go home at night
And turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry

So, what do you do when
Somebody you're 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?
Do you lash out and say: How dare you leave this way?
Do you hold on, in vain, as they just slip away?

Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality, I'm slowly losin' my mind (losin' my mind)
Underneath the disguise of a smile, gradually, I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (how do you feel?)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So, I wear my disguise until I go home at night
And turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry

Break, break down
Steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down
Steady breakin' me on down

It can break ya down only if ya let it
Every day, there's a situation wreckin' my mind
Tryin' to break me down, but I won't let it
Forget it

I be feelin' like you're breakin' me down
Kickin' me 'round
Stressin' me out
I think I better go 'n get out 'n let me relieve some stress

Don't ever wanna feel no pain, pain
Hopin' for the Sun, but it looks like rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain
Oh, I just wanna maintain

Yeah, I keep feelin' pressures, yo
But nevertheless, Krayzie won't fall
I said it's over
It's ending here

Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it (oh, I'm cryin', yeah)
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality, I'm slowly losin' my mind (I will gradually die inside of my heart)
Underneath the disguise of a smile, gradually, I'm dying inside (and cry)
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (how do I feel?)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering (I'm losing my mind)
So, I wear my disguise until I go home at night (so, so, oh)
And turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry (I break down and cry)

Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it (I cry, I cry, I cry)
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality, I'm slowly losin' my mind (I, I'm slowly losing my mind)
Underneath the disguise of a smile, gradually, I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (how do I feel?)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering (what do ya think? I'm suffering, oh, why?)
So, I wear my disguise until I go home at night (I turn off the lights)
And turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry (and break down, and cry)

Well, I guess I'm tryin' to be nonchalant about it (I cry, I cry, I cry)
And I'm goin' to extremes to prove I'm fine without you (I cry, I cry, I cry)
But in reality, I'm slowly losin' my mind (I cry, I cry, I cry)
Underneath the disguise of a smile, gradually, I'm dying inside (I cry, I cry, I cry)
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (I cry, I cry, I cry)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering (I cry, I cry, I cry)
So, I wear my disguise until I go home at night (I cry, I cry, I cry)
And turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry (I cry, I cry, I cry)
