Lyrics
Breaking Away
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.
The girl in the mirror said I told you so but you didn't wanna hear me out
You took your chances and it burned your hopes but it's too late to turn around
Now I'm older, old enough to know better
When to let things go
And there's nothing, nothing I can't face
No there's nothing, keeping me from turning the page
I got one thing, one thing I got to say,
They can try to control, put a hold on my soul
But I'm breaking away
I see familiar faces follow me, it's like they're everywhere I go
They're all just pieces of some memory of a person that they used to know
That somebody is slipping out of reach
Somebody gone with history
And there's nothing, nothing I can't face
No there's nothing, keeping me from turning the page
I got one thing, one thing I got to say,
They can try to control, put a hold on my soul
But I'm breaking away
There's nowhere to go when you're stranded
On an island that's caught in a drift, far from home
I'm so much stronger, than I'll ever know
And there's nothing, nothing I can't face
No there's nothing, keeping me from turning the page
I got one thing, one thing I got to say,
They can try to control, put a hold on my soul
But I'm breaking away
I'm breaking away
