Below, you will find the lyrics for Breakdown by Mariah Carey.
Intro
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
You called yesterday
To basically say
Verse 1
That you care for me but
That you're just not in love
Verse 1
Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was OK
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me
Chorus 1
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 guise of 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
Then turn down all the lights and then I breakdown and cry
Verse 2
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
Verse 2
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?
Chorus 2
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 guise of smile, gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
Chorus 2
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'till I go home at night
Then turn down all the lights and then I breakdown and cry
Verse 3
It'll break ya down, only if you let it
Every day crazy situation's rockin' my mind
Verse 3
Tryin' to break me down, but I won't let it, forget it
I been feeling like your breaking me down
Kicking me around, stressing me out
I think you 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
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, here
Chorus 3
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 guise of smile, gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
Chorus 3
'Cause I don't wanna reveal
The fact that I'm suffering
Chorus 3
So I wear my disguise 'till I go home at night
Then turn down all the lights and then I breakdown and cry
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 guise of smile, gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel
And I lie convincingly
Chorus 3
'Cause I don't wanna reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'till I go home at night
Then turn down all the lights and then I breakdown and cry
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 guise of smile, gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't wanna reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'till I go home
