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.
We've hurt too much to go on anymore
It's my love for you that leads me to the door
I'd rather go remembering our love as something great
Than stay and watch it all turn to hate
And heaven knows the nights to come are gonna be lonely
But with every dawn
I'll find the strength to say
The chains of love that bind me to your memory
Won't hold the heart that's breaking away
It's sad to say
But all that now remains
Is the need to know we haven't loved in vain
And though the door is closing on all the love we made
I'd love to hold you close for old time sake
And heaven knows the nights to come are gonna be lonely
But with every dawn
I'll find the strength to say
The chains of love that bind me to your memory
Won't hold the heart that's breaking away
Won't hold the heart that's breaking away
