Krayzie Bone:
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
Mariah Carey:
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 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 the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Underneath the guise of smile
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that 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 Carey/Krayzie Bone:
So what do you do when somebody you're 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 and roll roll roll on
Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way"
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
Gotta get control and roll roll roll on
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
Break-breakdown
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
Steady breaking me on down
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Losing my mind
Break-breakdown
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Under the smile
Steady breaking me on down
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
How do I feel
Break-breakdown
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that that I'm suffering
Steady breaking me on down
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
Break-breakdown
And turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry
Steady breaking me on down
Yeah
Come on yeah
