Breakdown Lyrics

Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down

Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down

Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down

Break, break down, steady 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 O.K.

To just walk away from the one thing

That's unyielding and sacred to me

[Chorus:]

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 my mind

Underneath the guise 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 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"

Do you lash out and say "How dare you leave this way"

Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away

[Chorus]

Yeah, c'mon

Yeah, c'mon, c'mon

Break break down

Gotta get control

Roll roll roll along

Steady breakin' me on down

Roll roll roll along

Break break down

Gotta get control

Roll roll roll along

Steady breakin' me on down

Roll roll along

It'll break you down

Only if you let it

Everyday crucial situation wrackin' my mind

Tryin' to break me down

But I won't let it

Forget it

Forget it

I've been feelin' like you're breakin' me down

Kickin' me around

Stressin' me out

I think I better go and 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, when you feel the pressure's on

But nevertheless

Krayzie won't fall

It's over

It's endin' here, here 

[Chorus]
