Break Away!

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

You keep telling me to slow down

Like you know what's best for me

Every time I try to speak up

You decide what I should be

I gave you more than you remember

I stayed longer than I should

Now I'm done explaining myself

I did everything I could

Pre-Chorus

Don't tell me where to go

I've got a mind of my own

I've been waiting long enough

Now it's time to let me go

Chorus

I'm gonna break away

I can't keep living like this

You had your chance to understand me

But you don't know what you missed

I'm gonna break away

No, I won't change my mind

I've got too much left to live for

I'm leaving this behind

Verse 2

Funny how you call me selfish

When I finally choose my life

You were never there to listen

But you always had advice

I don't hate you, understand me

I just can't keep playing along

Maybe you'll see what I was saying

When I'm gone and moving on

Pre-Chorus

Don't tell me where to go

I've got a mind of my own

I've been waiting long enough

Now it's time to let me go

Chorus

I'm gonna break away

I can't keep living like this

You had your chance to understand me

But you don't know what you missed

I'm gonna break away

No, I won't change my mind

I've got too much left to live for

I'm leaving this behind

Bridge

Oh, listen

I never said that I was perfect

Never said I had it all

But I won't spend my life pretending

Just to keep you comfortable

*(Come on!)*

I've made up my mind

And this time, I'm alright

Final Chorus

I'm gonna break away

There's nothing left to prove

I've spent too long asking questions

Now I've got something to do

I'm gonna break away

And I'm feeling like myself

I don't need to be somebody

You can put upon a shelf

Outro

Break away... *(Oh, yeah)*

I'm finally moving on

Break away...

Been waiting way too long

*(Hee-hee!)*

Break away!
