Breaking Away

Verse 1

Woke up feeling cold, your shadow on my skin

Heavy words you throw, sink deeper within

I tried to hold on, ignored every sign

Now I see clearly, this prison isn’t mine

Pre-Chorus

Smiles were fake, your intentions unclear

But I’m finding my voice, I won’t disappear

Chorus

Cut the ties, let it burn

No more turning around, I finally learned

Hit the brakes, walk away

I’m not your mistake, I’m breaking away

Post-Chorus

Hey-yeah, hey-yeah

Hey-yeah, hey-yeah

Verse 2

You drain me dry, you twist my thoughts

But I found my ground, now I can’t be caught

Tired of the poison, tired of the fight

It’s my time to choose, I’ll take back the night

Pre-Chorus

Every word you spoke like a chain to my mind

Now I’m cutting loose, leaving you behind

Chorus

Cut the ties, let it burn

No more turning around, I finally learned

Hit the brakes, walk away

I’m not your mistake, I’m breaking away

Post-Chorus

Hey-yeah, hey-yeah

Hey-yeah, hey-yeah

Bridge

Didn’t need your approval, I was enough all along

Facing my reflection, it’s stronger now you’re gone

The ashes are fading, I'm lighter each day

Freedom feels better than any words you say

Pre-Chorus

Every word you spoke like a chain to my mind

Now I’m cutting loose, leaving you behind

Chorus

Cut the ties, let it burn

No more turning around, I finally learned

Hit the brakes, walk away

I’m not your mistake, I’m breaking away

Post-Chorus

Hey-yeah, hey-yeah

Hey-yeah, hey-yeah
