Breakaway
Blackjack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something missing here and you know it
So why deny what you've been going through
You felt it coming though you tried not to show it
Facing a price you can no longer pay
It's time for a change in the plans you had made

Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your lying
Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your crying
Before it's too late, breakaway

Now you've got everything his money could buy you
And his affection still won't satisfy you
You need much more than his world would deny you
Caught in a dream that could never be real
Accepting the things you can no longer feel

Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your lying
Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your crying
Before it's too late, breakaway

Caught in a dream that can never be real
Accepting the things you can no longer feel

Breakaway, oh, breakaway
From all your lying
Breakaway, oh, breakaway




From all your crying
Before it's too late, breakaway
