Breakdown Lyrics » Mariah Carey
[Intro: Krayzie Bone]
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
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
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
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
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
