Breakaway
Kelly Clarkson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway
I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Want to feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Far away (I will)
And breakaway
I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging 'round revolvin' doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me, but
Gotta keep movin' on
Movin' on
Fly away
Breakaway
I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway

Grew up in a small town
I grew up in a small town and felt like I was limited by the place I came from.
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
When it rained I used to dream of something better for myself, wondering if I would ever be happy and praying that one day it would happen.
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway
I wanted to be seen and heard by others, but it felt like I was invisible, and something didn't feel right about fitting in here. I prayed that one day I could break free from this feeling.
I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
I'm going to take a leap of faith and do whatever it takes to achieve my dreams, and I won't forget the people I care about. I'll take a risk, seize an opportunity, and make a change that gets me closer to breaking free from what's holding me back.
Want to feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Faraway
And breakaway
I want to experience new things and escape from my current situation for a while. I want to feel the warmth of the sun and the thrill of the adventure. And I want to break free from everything that's holding me back.
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging 'round revolvin' doors
Maybe I don't know where they take me
But gotta keep movin' on
Movin' on
Fly away
Breakaway
I don't know where my journey might lead me, but I have to keep moving forward and take that leap of faith to break free from my current situation. I need to fly away and breakaway to find my true path in life.
I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway
It's hard to leave behind what's comfortable and what you know, but I need to take that risk and make a change. I'm moving towards the light and leaving the darkness behind, but I'll never forget where I come from. I need to breakaway and start anew.

Avril Lavigne just released her new version of Breakaway and I'm stoked to listen to it and I gotta say....both version are good in its own way .. Kelly's version is classic while Avril's version is nostalgic.

@The flying kiwi RC Yes, Avril's is nice but her voice is not near as strong as Kelly's.
