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

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

cuz i don't want to reveal the fact that i'm suffering
