Ooh yeah
Oh yeah

I can't find another minute for myself
Too busy pleasing someone else today
I've lost my way

There's gotta be a way of finding my way back
Just have to take a different tact
To where I'm at

And the only thing
I really learned
Is how to break my fall
And before I get 
My fingers burned
Before I lose it all
I've got to

Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Down to earth
Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Second birth

It's really hard to find the dream confusion raised
I hit my head against the wall again
But it's not in vain

There has to be a better reason why I'm here
Before I start to disappear
I gotta get out of here

And the only thing
I really learned
Is how to break my fall
And before I get 
My fingers burned
Before I lose it all
I've got to

Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Down to earth
Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Second birth

I, I don't wanna be here
I, I don't have to be here
I said I, I don't wanna be here
'cause it's time to move on to get back to the place I belong

And the only thing
I really learned
Is how to break my fall
And before I get 
My fingers burned
Before I lose it all, yeah
I've got to

Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Down to earth
Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Second birth

Breakaway, break away
And the only thing
Breakaway, breakaway
I really learned
Breakaway, breakaway
Is how to break my fall
Breakaway, breakaway
And before I get
Breakaway, breakaway
My fingers burned
Breakaway, breakaway
Before I lose it all
Breakaway, breakaway
I've got to
Breakaway, breakaway
