Breakdown

You called yesterday

To basicallly 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 it 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

Underneath a 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

Till 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 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

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

Till 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

Break break down, steady breakin' me on down

Break break down, steady breakin' me on down



(rap)

It'll break ya down

Only if you let it

Everday, crazy situation's rockin' my mind

Tryin' to break me down

But I won't let it (forget it)



I been feelin' like you breakin' me down

Kickin' me round, stressin' me out

I think I better go and get out

And let me relieve some stress

Don't ever wanna feel no pain, pain

Hopin' for the sun but it looks like rain, rain, rain

Lord, I just will not maintain



Oh yeah, often feel the pressures y'all

But never the less crazy won't fall

It's over, it's endin' 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 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

Till I go home at night

And turn down all the lights

And then I break down and cry
