Breakdown

Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' 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 O.K.
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 my mind
Underneath the guise 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 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then 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»
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 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 my mind
Underneath the guise 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 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry
Yeah, c’mon
Yeah, c’mon, c’mon
Break break down
Gotta get control
Roll roll roll along
Steady breakin' me on down
Roll roll roll along
Break break down
Gotta get control
Roll roll roll along
Steady breakin' me on down
Roll roll along
It’ll break you down
Only if you let it
Everyday crucial situation wrackin' my mind
Tryin' to break me down
But I won’t let it
Forget it
Forget it
I’ve been feelin' like you’re breakin' me down
Kickin' me around
Stressin' me out
I think I better go and get out and let me
Release some stress (stress)
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
Yeah, when you feel the pressure’s on
But nevertheless
Krayzie won’t fall
It’s over
It’s endin' here, here
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 my mind
Underneath the guise 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 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry
