Breakin' up
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.
It's not as if New York City burnt down to the ground
Once you drove away
It's not as if the sun won't shine
When clouds up above
Wash the blues away
Are we breakin' up? (Breakin' up)
Are we breakin' up? (Breakin' up)
Is there trouble between you and I?
Did my heart break enough? (Break enough)
Did it Break enough this time (Break enough)
Here's to all the pretty words we will never speak
Here's to all the pretty girls you're gonna meet
Am I breakin' up? (Breakin' up)
Am I Breakin' up
Is there trouble on the line?
Did my heart break enough? (Break enough)
Did it Break enough this time (Break enough)
Ooooh, it feels good to be free
Oooh it feels good to be free
Oooh it feels good to be free
The trail is a thorny crown
You wear it well
Just like a king
Revenge is the saddest thing
Honey, I'm afraid to say
You deserve everything
Am I breakin' up? (Breakin' up)
Are we breakin' up?
Is there trouble between the lines?
Did my heart break enough? (Break enough)
Did it break enough? (Break enough)
Break enough this time?
Ooooh, it feels good to be free
Oooh it feels good to be free
Oooh it feels good to be free
Ooooh, it feels good to be free
Oooh it feels good to be free
Oooh it feels good to be free
Ooooh, it feels good to be free
Oooh it feels good to be free
Oooh it feels good to be free
