Break My Back
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.
they wanted to break my back, wanted to hold me back from beeing free.
they had a part for me in society, but that wasn´t me.
they gave me an early start, when they broke my heart i needed to see.
that if i wanted to be myself i couldn´t be myself without me!
so here i am!
i stepped out!
to be free!
'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still say all i want.
"now that i´m free!"
i needed to learn the truth, i had to find my own destiny.
ev´rybody would pass me by, i couldn´t pacify the urge in me!
cause i was given wings to fly, that i was meant to try can´t you see.
that if i wanted to be myself i couldn´t be myself without me!
so here i am!
i stepped out!
to be free!
'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still stay in control.
now that i´m free!
you didn´t think that i would try...
you never knew what´s on my mind...
you didn´t think i´d really try to be more than this!?
i had to live in agony...
i knew you´re looking down on me...
but i always knew that i would be so much more than this!
'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall.
i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still say all i want!
"now that i´m free
