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?)
