Breakdown

(featuring Bone thugs-n-harmony)

(Krayzie)
Break break down, still it breaking me on down
Break break down, still it breaking me on down
Break break down, still it breaking me on down
Break break down, still it breaking me on down

(Mariah)
You call 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

(Mariah)
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 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 of the lights and then I break down and cry

(Mariah)
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"
(Gotta get control, hold, hold, hold on)
Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way"
(Gotta get control, hold, hold, hold on)
(Gotta get control, hold, hold, hold on)
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
(Gotta get control, hold, hold, hold on)

(Mariah)
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
(Break break down, still it breaking me on down)
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
(Break break down, still it breaking me on down)
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
(Break break down, still it breaking me on down)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
(Break break down, still it breaking me on down)
And turn down all of the lights and then I break down and cry

(Wish)
Yeah, c'mon, yeah, c'mon, c'mon
Break break down, still it breaking me on down
Gotta get control, hold, hold, hold on
Break break down, still it breaking me on down
Gotta get control, hold, hold, hold on
Break break down, still it breaking me on down
Gotta get control, hold, hold, hold on
Break break down, still it breaking me on down

(Wish)
Better break it down
Or if for your lady
Everyday the situation is on my mind
Tryin' to break me down
But I won't let it
Forget it (forget it)

(Krayzie)
I'll be feelin' like it gonna break me down
Turnin' me around
Stressin' me out
I'm thinkin' it gonna get out
And let me release some stress (stress)

(Wish)
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

(Krayzie)
Yeah, I'm feelin' precious, yo
But never the less
Krayzie won't fall
Sober, is headin near (near)
