Break, break down
Still it breakin' me on down
Break, break down
Still it bring me on down

Break, break, down
Still it breakin' me on down
Break, break down
Still it breakin' 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 not 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 smile, gradually I'm dying inside

Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cuz I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So, I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And I turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry

So, what do you do when somebody 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, roll, roll, roll on)
(Gotta get control, roll, roll, roll on)
(Gotta get control, roll, roll, roll on)
(Gotta get control, roll, roll, roll on)
Do you hold on in vain as they as they just slip away

Well, I guess, I'm trying not 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 smile, gradually I'm dying inside

Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cuz I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So, I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And I turn down all the lights and then I break down and cry

Wish, yeah, c'mon, yeah, c'mon, c'mon
Break, break, break down, roll, roll, roll on
Still, it breakin' me on down, roll, roll, roll on
Break, break, break down, roll, roll, roll on
Still, it breakin' me on down

Better break it down only if you let it
Everyday the situation is rockin' my mind
Tryin' to break me down but I won't let it, forget it
(Forget it)

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)

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

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

Well, I guess I'm trying not 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 smile gradually I'm dying inside

Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cuz I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So, I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And I turn down the lights and then I break down and cry

Well, I guess I'm trying not to be nonchalant about it

Break, break down
Break, break down
Break, break down
