Break Free
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should have said it before
Tried to hide it, fake it
I can't pretend anymore
I only want to die alive
Never by the hands of a broken heart
I don't wanna hear you lie tonight
This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
Cause I can't resist it no more
This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
Cause I can't resist it no more
You were better, deeper
I was under a spell
Like a deadly fear I am, babe
On the highway to hell
I only want to die alive
Never by the hands of a broken heart
I don't wanna hear you lie tonight
Now that I've become who I really am
This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
Cause I can't resist it no more
This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
Cause I can't resist it no more
(Our love baby, oooh)
The thought on your body
I came alive
It was lethal
It was fatal
In my dreams it felt so right
But I woke up and pretend
Oh baby
This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
Cause I can't resist it no more
This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
Cause I can't resist it no more
The lyrics of "Break Free" by KIDZ BOP Kids is about breaking free from the hold someone has over you and being true to yourself. The first verse talks about how the singer should have said what they wanted before and they can no longer fake their true feelings. The chorus emphasizes that the singer wants to live life on their terms and never by the hands of a broken heart, rejecting any lies the other person may have said. The second verse references how the other person was better and deeper, putting the singer under a spell, similar to being on the highway to hell, but now they have broken free.
The bridge is an acknowledgment of the physical and emotional attraction that the singer has towards the other person, but ultimately, they cannot pretend anymore. The chorus is repeated once more to reinforce the message that the singer is now stronger and has broken free from the hold that the other person once had on them.
