Breakdown (feat. Krayzie Bone & Wish Bone) Song Lyrics

Break, break down, steady breaking me on down
Break, break down, steady breaking me on down
Break, break down, steady breaking me on down
Break, break down, steady breaking me on down

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 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

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)
