Mariah Carey, Wish Bone, Krayzie Bone - Breakdown lyrics

Break-breakdown steady breaking me on down
Break-breakdown steady breaking me on down
Break-breakdown steady breaking me on down
Break-breakdown steady breaking me on down

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 similarly
And led you to believe I was okay
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me

Well, I guess I'm trying 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
(losing my mind)
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
(Underneath the guise of a smile)
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the
Fact that that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til 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 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 and roll roll roll on)
Do you lash out and say "How
Dare you leave this way"
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)

Well, I guess I'm trying to
Be nonchalant about it break-breakdown
And I'm going to extremes to
Prove I'm fine without you
Steady breaking me on down
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
(losing my mind) break-breakdown
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside (Under the smile)
Steady breaking me on down
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly (How do you feel?)
Break-breakdown
'Cause I don't want to reveal the
Fact that that I'm suffering
Steady breaking me on down
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
Break-breakdown
And turn down all the lights and
Then I break down and cry
Steady breaking me on down (I cry)
Yeah come on, yeah
Come on, come on

I don't wanna break down
(Breakdown, breakdown) break-breakdown
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)
I don't wanna break down
(Breakdown, breakdown)
Steady breaking me on down
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)
I don't wanna break down
(Breakdown, breakdown) break-breakdown
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)
I don't wanna break down
(Breakdown, breakdown)
Steady breaking me on down
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)

Gonna break you down only if you let it
Everyday crazy situations rocking my mind
Trying to break me down but I won't let it
Forget it

I be feeling like you're breaking me down
Kicking me around, stressing me out
I think you better go and get out
And let me release some stress

Don't ever wanna feel no pain
Hoping for the sun but it looks like rain
Lord, I just wanna maintain

Yeah, I'm feeling pressures you all
But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall
It's over, it's ending here

Well, I guess I'm trying to
Be nonchalant about it (I'm trying)
And I'm going to extremes to
Prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
(I'm gradually dying inside)
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
(In my heart as I 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 that I'm suffering
(I'm losing my mind)
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and
Then I break down and cry
(So I breakdown and cry)

Well, I guess I'm trying to
Be nonchalant about it
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
And I'm going to extremes to
Prove I'm fine without you
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly (How do I feel?)
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
'Cause I don't want to reveal the
Fact that that I'm suffering
(What do you think? You
Gotta know I'm suffering, so I)
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
(I turn off the lights and breakdown and cry)
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
And turn down all the lights and
Then I break down and cry
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on

Well, I guess I'm trying to
Be nonchalant about it break-breakdown
(Cry, cry, cry) and I'm going to extremes to
Prove I'm fine without you
Steady breaking me on down
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Break-breakdown (Cry, cry, cry)
Underneath the guise of a smile
Gradually I'm dying inside
Steady breaking me on down (Cry, cry, cry)
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly break-breakdown
'Cause I don't want to reveal the
Fact that that I'm suffering
Steady breaking me on down (Cry, cry, cry)
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
Break-breakdown
And turn down all the lights and
Then I break down and cry
Steady breaking me on down

I don't wanna break down break-breakdown
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)
I don't wanna break down
Steady breaking me on down
(Gotta get control and roll roll roll on)
