Break Away

As I wake half-dead In this same old bed At the dawn of another day I feel chained and bound To this hopeless town And I know I must break away There's a world out there Why does no one care? Are they lost in the games they play? So much they don't see But there's more to me And I know I must break away Oh, I've been lyin', I've been cheatin' I've been foolin' myself Instead of fightin', I've been hidin' away I've been runnin', goin' nowhere Put my heart on a shelf And I don't want to live that way Trapped in a moment, ready to fly I've got to find my own way Sooner or later, it ends in goodbye We all have to break away Oh, it's hard to hide When the truth inside Rises up like a tidal wave There's been something wrong now For far too long And I know I must break away Oh, I've been lyin', I've been cheatin' I've been foolin' myself? Why should they listen to what I have to say? Am I just another nobody like everyone else? 'Cause I don't want to live that way Trapped in a moment, ready to fly I've got to find my own way Sooner or later it ends in goodbye We all have to break away I dream at night of my escape How much longer must I wait? Oh, I feel it in my skin The walls are closin' in I'm tired of living in These burned-out buildings Gotta shake the rust Before I turn to dust If I still had some faith, I'd pray Break away Break away Trapped in a moment, ready to fly I've got to find my own way (I've gotta get you to stay) Sooner or later it ends in goodbye (don't say goodbye) We all have to break away (we don't have to break away) Break away Break away
