Breaking Away

Trapped in a cycle of heartache and tears,

Cautioned by voices that no one else hears,

Tempted to leave, but longing to stay.

Am I better off breaking away?

 

Breaking away from the sorrow,

Into the light,

A brand new direction to make it all right.

Finding the freedom to face a new day.

It all starts with breaking away.

 

Most folks don’t notice the rut that they’re in.

They travel in circles, no chance to win.

They never consider the price that they pay

For the freedom of breaking away.

 

Breaking away from the sorrow,

Into the light,

A brand new direction to make it all right.

Finding the freedom to face a new day.

It all starts with breaking away.

 

I hope you’ll be happy, know you’ll be fine

When I’m not around to play on your mind.

But I have to shake all these dark shades of gray.

That’s why I’m breaking away.

 

Breaking away from the sorrow,

Into the light,

A brand new direction to make it all right.

Finding the freedom to face a new day.

It all starts with breaking away.
