I love how Mariah cant write a song about how she feels about something and then in reality everyone fells the same way she does about that same thing!!! THAT IS WHY I LOVE MARIAH!!! :)
This is the greatest lyrical performance of her career in my opinion. Her ability to articulately summarise not only the feelings of being dumped, but being dumped in a specific way, make you visualise the story in your mind so clearly. Not only that, but the fact that she holds back from showing off her range and instead sings softly/sweetly reflects the vulnerable nature that she finds herself in because of the breakup she's singing about. Lyrically timeless more than a decade later.
you gotta love mariah for who she is, sometimes life takes over and u cant fault her for anything! her music reflects her and she is the shit bottom line
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 ,.......................... OMG best verse ever SOOO TRUE
Somebody need to do an acapella version of this... i like the instrumental but im more in love with mariah voice alone in itself.. lol love the lyrics too
def such a underrated song. One of the best songs period. I love me some bone thugs to. Those boys are bad!! mariah is amazing mix with bone thugs. all I can say is damn!
this song means so much to me,someone i was in a reletionship with(blake civil) yes amy winehous's ex husband know i dont need to say nomore accept car crash ..and i am the one crying over it always someone hurting hey
Have you noticed a lot of her pictures were taken from the right side of her face? Apparently she never liked pictures being taken from the left side of her face. Anyway, she's still gorgeous.
Okay, So I'm only 13 and I love<3 this song and understand it. Mariah Carey takes great care of herself!! She's 39 now? Mariah Is beautiful and a very independent woman(:
I FEEL HER WHEN SHE SAID "Well, I guess I'm trying to be Non-chalant 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 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" THIS IS TRUE DAMN!
"well I guess Im trying to be nonchalant about it, and Im going to extremes to prove Im fine with out you, but in reality Im slowly losing my mind underneath the guise of a smile gradually Im dying inside, friends ask me how I feel,and I lie convinvingly cause I dont want to reveal the fact that Im suffering.....
Here are ten facts 1. Your reading my comment 2. Now your saying/thinking thats a stupid fact. 4. You didnt notice that i skipped 3. 5. Your checking it now. 6. Your smiling. 7. Your still reading my comment. 8. You know all you have read is true. 10. You didn't notice that i skipped 9. 11. Your checking it now. 12. You didn't notice there are only 10 facts Copy and paste to 1 video, tomorrow will be your best day ever! No matter what!
Never understood this song till I got dumped.

Breakdown by mariah is one of my fave song performed by her....sometimes i was like "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 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 "... same with jennithegreatest... and dat is for reals!!!
