Bone Thugs and Harmony feat. Mariah Carey Breakdown Lyrics

Mariah:
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 unyeilding 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 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 'til I go home at night, and turn down all
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?" [Krayzie:
Gotta get control and roll, roll, roll on.] Do you lash out and say, "How dare
you leave this way?" Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away?

Mariah:
Well, I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it[Krazie: Break, breakdown. Steady
breakin' me on down.] 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 'til I go home at night, and turn down all the lights, and
then I break down and cry.
