mariah carey - breakdown (her best song ever)
You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to feel similarily
And led you to believe I was okay
To just walk away from the thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the 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 of 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??'
Or do you hold on in vain as they just slip away
Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going the 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 of the lights and then i break down and cry
