Breaking Away
Jaki Graham Lyrics

I'd like to think that you're thinking of me
I hope that you are still reminiscing about me, despite our distance apart.

So close to you, you just seem so far away
Even though you are physically near me, you feel emotionally distant and unattainable.

So far away, so far until I cannot see
You have become so far removed that I can no longer see a clear path to being reunited.

By breaking away you've broken the rules
You have gone against what is expected and what was previously agreed upon by separating from me.

By breaking my heart you've loved like a fool
Your actions have caused me pain and hurt, which shows that you were foolish to not consider the consequences of breaking away.

I'm breaking away, you made me give in
I am now breaking away from you, succumbing to the pressures and heartache caused by your actions.

And making me loose what I thought I could win
Your actions have caused me to lose what I once believed was within reach or attainable.

You're just a man with a modern problem
You are a typical man who is facing a modern-day issue or obstacle.

Can rest his heart, has to be so far away
Although you may feel at ease with your decision, it requires you to be distant and disconnected from me.

So far away, so far I'm loosing all believe
Your distance has caused me to lose faith and belief in our relationship and future together.

I saw the writing clearly on the wall
I could read the signs and signals that indicated our relationship was becoming strained and in danger.

It told me what your heart it hurts when you fall
The signs revealed that you are in pain and hurting due to our relationship troubles and struggles.

And yet we've more to loose I couldn't give in
Despite knowing the potential loss, I could not give in to the temptation or ease of giving up on our relationship.

It's a fight I just wanted to win
I was determined to fight for our relationship and wanted to emerge as the victor and overcome the struggles we faced.
