Lyrics
man I'm out of here
I'm gonna check out
I played my best card
I gave it a shout
Bit by bit I gotta let go
Getting ready to fly solo
It really doesn't matter as much as you think
Don't flatter yourself I'll get out in a blink
Can't you see
I'm breaking free
All this time I've wasted
Waiting for you to make up your mind
All the tears I've cried while you were busy taking your time
Longing for something that isn't even there
It's a fools game
It's a dare
man I'm out of here
I'm gonna check out
I played my best card
I gave it a shout
Bit by bit I gotta let go
Getting ready to fly solo
It really doesn't matter as much as you think
Don't flatter yourself I'll get out in a blink
Can't you see
I'm breaking free
This morning when I woke up
My heart so icy with resolve
Heard your voice on the phone
Resolve it's all gone
Trying to stay tough it's harder than I thought
And that's why I gotta break free
Who needs to stick around
When there's plenty more fish in the sea
Life's too short for messing about
I'm setting myself free
It's tough call to be made
Baby I'm so scared
Can't you see I'm breaking free
It really doesn't matter as much as you think
Don't flatter yourself I'll get out in a blink
Can't you see
I'm breaking free
Today I'll pack my case and walk out to the pouring rain
Tomorrow I won't look back I won't feel no more pain
Next week I'll be good as new
Starting my new game
If you only knew, you'd set me free
man I'm out of here
I'm gonna check out
I played my best card
I gave it a shout
Bit by bit I gotta let go
Getting ready to fly solo
It really doesn't matter as much as you think
Don't flatter yourself I'll get out in a blink
Can't you see
I'm breaking free
Baby can't you see I'm breaking free
Can't you see
I'm breaking free
Baby can't you see I'm breaking free
