Break break down,
2
Steady breakin' me on down, break break down,
3
Steady breakin' me on down,
4
Break break down, steady breakin' me on down,
5
Break break down, steady breakin' me on down.
6
You called yesterday to basically say
7
That you care for me,
8
But that you're just not in love
9
Immediately I pretended
10
To be feeling similarly
11
And led you to believe it was o.k
12
To just walk away from the one thing
13
That's unyielding and sacred to me
14
[Chorus]
15
Well I guess I'm trying to be
16
Nonchalant about it
17
And I'm going to extremes to prove
18
I'm fine without you
19
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
20
Underneath a disguise of a smile
21
Gradually I'm dying inside
22
Friends ask me how I feel
23
And I lie convincingly
24
Cause I don't want to reveal
25
The fact that I'm suffering
26
So I wear my disguise
27
Till I go home at night
28
And turn down all the lights
29
And then I break down and cry
30
So what do you do
31
When somebody you're so devoted to
32
Suddenly just stops loving you
33
And it seems they haven't got a clue
34
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
35
Do you cling to your pride
36
And sing "I will survive"
37
Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way?"
38
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
39
Yeah, c'mon, yeah, c'mon, c'mon
40
Well I guess I'm trying to be
41
Nonchalant about it
42
And I'm going to extremes to prove
43
I'm fine without you
44
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
45
Underneath the disguise of a smile
46
Gradually I'm dying inside
47
Friends ask me how I feel
48
And I lie convincingly
49
Cause I don't want to reveal
50
The fact that I'm suffering
51
So I wear my disguise
52
Till I go home at night
53
And turn down all the lights
54
And then I break down and cry
55
It'll break you down
56
Only if you let it
57
Everyday crazy situations rocking my mind
58
Tryin' to break me down
59
But I won't let it
60
Forget it (forget it)
61
I be feelin' like you bringing me down
62
Taking me around
63
Stressin' me out
64
I think i better go and get out
65
And let me release some stress (stress)
66
Don't ever wanna feel no pain (pain)
67
Hoping for the sun
68
But it looks like rain (rain, rain, rain)
69
Lord, I just wanna maintain
70
Yeah, I can feel pressures y'all
71
But never the less
72
Krayzie won't fall
73
It's over, it's ending here (here)
74
Well I guess I'm trying to be
75
Nonchalant about it
76
And I'm going to extremes to prove
77
I'm fine without you
78
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
79
Underneath the guise of a smile
80
Gradually I'm dying inside
81
Friends ask me how I feel
82
And I lie convincingly
83
Cause I don't want to reveal
84
The fact that I'm suffering
85
So I wear my disguise
86
Till I go home at night
87
And turn down all the lights
88
And then I break down and cry
