Verse 1

mariah: 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 similarily
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 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
Verse 2

mariah: 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) 4X
do you hold on in vain as they as they just slip away
CHORUS

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

Bridge

Wish: 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)

Krayzie: 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 )

Wish: 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

Krayzie: yeah, i'm feelin' precious, yo
but never the less
krayzie won't fall
so-ber, is headin' near ( near )
CHORUS
