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
