I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
-Mariah 'Against all odds'


You call yesterday... to basically say
That you care for me.... but that you're just not in love
Immediately... I pretended to feel... similary
And led you to believe... I was O.K.
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... loosing 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... that 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
"Break down" Mariah
