Scooter Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll find somebody new and there'll be no more sorrow
That's what I do each time, but I can't follow through
I can't breakaway, though you make me cry
I can't breakaway, I can't say goodbye
No I'll never never breakaway from you, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
I'll make that vow to myself, you and I are through
Nothing can change my mind; I'm sorry won't do
That's what I'll say each time, but I can't follow through
I can't breakaway, though you make me cry
I can't breakaway, I can't say goodbye
No I'll never never breakaway from you, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
Even though you treat me bad and many cruel words are spoken
You have got a spell on me that just can't be broken, no, no
I'll take your picture down and throw it away
There'll be no baby now, for you to call each day
That's what I'll say each time, but I can't follow through
I can't breakaway, though you make me cry
I can't breakaway, I can't say goodbye
No I'll never never breakaway from you, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
I can't breakaway, though you make me cry
I can't breakaway, I can't say goodbye
No I'll never never breakaway from you, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
I can't breakaway, I can't breakaway, I can't breakaway
Scooter Lee's "Break Away" is a classic country song about the struggle of leaving a toxic relationship. In the first verse, the singer has made a reservation to leave town and start fresh with someone new, but she knows that never works out for her. She is still in love with her toxic partner and cannot seem to break away from him, no matter how much he makes her cry. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the singer repeating that she cannot say goodbye and will never break away from him.
In the second verse, the singer makes a vow to herself that she and her partner are through, but she knows she won't be able to follow through with that either. Even though he treats her badly and speaks cruel words to her, she is under his spell and cannot break away. She tries to convince herself by taking down his picture and refusing to have a baby with him, but deep down she knows that she can't follow through with her own promises. The song ends with the singer repeating that she can't break away, no matter how much he makes her cry or how many promises she makes.
Overall, "Break Away" is a timeless tale of the struggle to leave a toxic relationship. It is a poignant reminder that sometimes love is not enough to keep a relationship healthy, and that breaking away can be an incredibly difficult process.
