Lyrics

Breakaway

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

From the fire in your words

To the dagger in your eye

I just have to lay my body down

Go and lay my body down

I pretend to be asleep

But I know you hear my cry

I just have to lay my body down

Go and lay my body down

But if I

Really want a change

Then I must admit

That I'm the one to blame

If I could break away

Cut the cord

For worse or better

If I could turn the page

At last and say

Goodbye forever

But on the other side

Of yesterday

Beyond the heartache

What if all I am

Without the pain

Is empty hearted

I could break away

Is it true what people say

That it's darkest before dawn

I just have to lay my body down

Go and lay my body down

Any hope we might have saved

Is too weak to let live on

I just have to lay my body down

Go and lay my body down

And if I

Really want a change

Then tonight I'm gonna need

All of my strength

If I could break away

Cut the cord

For worse or better

If I could turn the page

At last and say

Goodbye forever

But on the other side

Of yesterday

Beyond the heartache

What if all I am

Without the pain

Is empty hearted

I could break away

Oh, anything is better than this

I know

Anything is better

If I could break away

Cut the cord

For worse or better

If I could turn the page

At last and say

Goodbye forever

But on the other side

Of yesterday

Beyond the heartache

What if all I am

Without the pain

Is empty hearted

I could break away

If I could break away

If I could turn the page

But on the other side

Of yesterday

Beyond the heartache

What if all I am

Without the pain

Is empty hearted

I could break away
