Lyrics

Break Away...

Break away, baby, it?s time to let go
I know I shared a dream with you, but that was a long time ago

I push you, you pull me
It?s a tug of war
There?s no winner, no loser
Just lovers keeping score

If we go on this way
We?ll drive each other insane

Break away, baby, it?s time to let go
I know I shared a dream with you, but that was a long time ago
Break away, and make it as fast as you can
Don?t listen to my foolish heart wanting to love you again

I hurt you, you hurt me
The words cut so deep
We?re just hanging on to what we have
But there?s nothing left to believe

Now look at the damage we?ve done
And admit it?s time to move on

Break away (solo)
Break away, and make it as fast as you can
Don?t listen to my foolish heart wanting to love you again

I blame you, you blame me
But no one?s right or wrong
We tried to make the pieces fit
But we never were that strong

We should have known all along
This house of cards gonna fall...

Break away, baby, it?s time to let go
I know I shared a dream with you, but that was a long time ago
Break away, and make it as fast as you can
Don?t listen to my foolish heart wanting to love you again
