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
OK 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
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"
Do you lash out and say
"How dare you leave this way"
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 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
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
Yeah, c'mon, yeah, c'mon, c'mon
(I wanna break down) Break break down (Gotta get control)
(Roll roll roll along) Steady breaking me on down
(Roll roll roll along) Break break down (Gotta get control)
(Roll roll roll along) Steady breaking me on down
Well, I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it (I'm~ crying)
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind (I'm gradually dying inside in my heart)
Underneath the guise of a smile, gradually I'm dying inside (Cry~)
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (How do I feel)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering (I'm~ losing my mind)
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night (So... ooh I~)
And turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry (I break down and cry)
Well, I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it (Cry~)
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you (Cry~ cry~)
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind (But in reality I'm~)
Underneath the guise of a smile, gradually I'm dying inside (I'm slowly losing my mind)
Friends ask me how I feel, and I lie convincingly (How I feel)
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering (What do you think? You gotta know I'm suffering)
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night (So I~, I~)
And turn down all the lights, and then I break down and cry (Turn down the lights, break down and cry)
Cry~ cry~ cry~
Cry~ cry~ cry~
Cry~ cry~ cry~
Cry~ cry~ cry~
Cry~ cry~ cry~
Cry~ cry~ cry~
Cry~ cry~ cry~
