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.
You had me bound in your passions,
Surrendered to your selfish will.
You led me to believe that you loved me,
Only to be hurt again.
And now I'm free, no longer entangled,
No longer hung up on your lines.
Cause now I see the mask you are wearing.
No more for your lies I'll be blind.
Breaking away, I'm breaking away,
Breaking away, I'm breaking away.
Deep down in me, I need to be needed
Desire to believe in someone true,
But time showed me expectations too many
At least I expected something more of you.
Breaking away, breaking away, breaking away...
You promised me that we could discover
A place where we really belong.
But misery ain't my kind of company,
You had the last word but now I'm gone.
Breaking away, I'm breaking away,
Breaking away, I'm breaking away.
Breaking away, I'm breaking away,
Breaking away, I'm breaking away.
