[Intro]
Cry, cry, cry (cry)
Cry, cry, cry (cry)
Cry, cry

[Verse 1]
Maybe I didn’t leave much between us that day
And maybe I shouldn’t have told you I loved you
Played the game, and now I understand
Wish I could have you back
And kiss you soft and feel your hands on me

[Chorus]
Till we both break down
Till we both break down
Till we both break down
And cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry
'Till we both

[Verse 2]
And maybe I didn’t give you your space back then
And maybe I should have just held out a little bit longer
But I was subdued by you, and I didn't know enough
Truly too enchanted to disregard the words you said to make me yours
I need to hold you 'till we both

[Chorus]
(Till we both break down)
Break down
(Till we both break down)
I should've known that you were tired of me
(Till we both break down)
Oh, till we both break down
And cry

[Bridge]
Oh, my love
Imprudently I left every cell in me so naked
Somewhere at the core of you, blares our song
I just need you till we both

[Chorus]
(Till we both break down)
I'm just saying
(Till we both break down)
Might as well tell the truth about the matter
(Till we both break down)
Yes, I guess it's selfish of me to just expect that I'm entitled to have you
(Till we both break down)
But tonight all I wanna do is just hold you till
(Till we both break down)
We both break down and cry
(Cry, cry, cry, cry)
Oh, we both break down and cry
(Cry, cry, cry, cry)
'Till we both break down and
Cry

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
