Breakawayv2

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I'd just stare out my window

Dreamin' of what could be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray

Trying hard to reach out

But when I tried to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I'd pray

I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky

And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change

And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging 'round revolving doors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me, but

Gotta keep movin' on, movin' on

Fly away

Breakaway

(just play these tones on the topE streng)

Here's the thing

We started out friends

It was cool, but it was all pretend

Yeah yeah

Since you been gone

(take the chord but just play on the top one, two or three)

You're dedicated, you took the time

Wasn't long 'til I called you mine

Yeah yeah

Since you been gone

(take the chord play on the top 3 or 4)

And all you'd ever hear me say

Is how I picture me with you

That's all you'd ever hear me say

(play normaly)

But since you been gone

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on

Yeah yeah

Thanks to you

Now I get what I want

Since you been gone

(same as first verse)

How can I put it, you put me on

I even fell for that stupid love song

Yeah yeah

Since you been gone

How come I'd never hear you say

I just wanna be with be with you

Guess you never felt that way

CHOURSE

You had your chance, you blew it

Out of sight, out of mind

Shut your mouth I just can't take it

Again, and again, and again, and again...

CHOURSE

I can breathe for the first time

I'm so moving on

Yeah yeah

Thanks to you (thanks to you), now I get (I get)

You should know (you should know)

That I get

I get what I want

Since you been gone

Since you been gone

Since you been gone

Seems like just yesterday

You were a part of me

I used to stand so tall

I used to be so strong

Your arms around me tight

Everything it felt so right

Unbreakable like nothing could

go wrong

Now I can't breathe

No I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

Here I am

Once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it

Can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears

I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything

Opened up and let you in

You made me feel alright for once in my life

Now all that's left of me

Is what I pretend to be

So together but so broken up inside

Cause I can't breathe

No I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

I will not make

The same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself

Cause my heart so much misery

I will not break

The way you did, you fell so hard

I've learned the hard way

To never let it get that far

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you I am afraid

I lose my way

And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because I know that's weakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake

A smile, a laugh, every day of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to start with

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young

You should have known better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

And now I cry in the middle of the night

For the same damn thing

Because of you

Because of you

Because of you I am afraid

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything

Because of you

I don't know how to let anyone else in

Because of you

I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty

Because of you I am afraid

Because of you

It's like your a drug

It's like your a demon I can't face down

It's like I'm stunned

It's like I'm running from you all the time

And I know I let you have all powers like

The only company I see is misery all around

It's like your a leech

Sucking the life from me

It's like I can't breathe

Without you inside of me

And I know I let you have all the power

And I realize I'm not gonna quit you over time

It's like I can't breathe

It's like I can't see anything

Nothing but you

I'm addicted to you

It's like I can't think

Without you in

You're haunting me

In my thoughts

In my dreams

You're taking over me

It's like I'm not me

It's like I'm not me

I'm hooked on you

I need a fix

I can't take it

Just one more hit

I promise I can do with it

I'll handle then quit it

Just one more time then that's it

Just don't let open

But you'll get me through this

I don't believe

In the smile that you leave me with

When you walk away and say goodbye

Well I don't expect

The world to implode beneath me but for God's sake could you try

I know that you're true to me

You're always there, you say you care

I know that you wanna be mine

Where is your heart

Cause I don't really feel you

Where is your heart

What I really want is to believe you

Is it so hard to give me what I need

I want your heart to bleed

And that's all I'm asking for

Where is your heart?

I don't understand

Your love is so cold

It's always me who's reaching out for your hand

I always dreamed

That love would be effortless

Like a petal falling to the ground

A dreamer following his dream

It seems so much is left inside

But you can say anything

Oh anytime you need

Baby it's just you and me

I know that you're true to me

You're always there, you say you care

I know that you wanna be mine

Is this a dream

If it is

Please don't wake me from this high

I'd become

Comfortably numb

Until you opened up my eyes

To what it's like

When everything's right

Oh I can't believe

You found me

When no one else was looking

How did you know just where I would be

Yeah you broke through all of my confusion

The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave

I guess that you saw what nobody could see

You found me

So here we are

And that's pretty far

When you think of where we've been

No going back

I'm fading out

All that has faded me within

You're by my side

Now everything's fine

I can believe

I was hiding

Till you came along

And showed me where I belong

You found me

When no one else was looking

How did you know just where I would be

Yeah you broke through all of my confusion

The ups and the downs and you still didn't leave

I guess that you saw what nobody could see

The good and the bad and the things (everything) in between

You found me

I woke up today

Woke up wide awake

In an empty bed

Staring at an empty room

I have myself to blame

For the state I'm in today

And now dying doesn't seem so cruel

And oh, I don't know what to say

And I don't know anyway, anymore

I hate myself for losing you

I'm seeing it all so clear

I hate myself for losing you

What do you do when you look in the mirror

And staring at you is why he's not here

You got what you deserved

Hope you're happy now

'Cause every time I think of both of you

It's killing me inside

And now I dread each day

Knowing that I can't be saved

From the loneliness of living without you

And oh, I don't know what to

Not sure that I'll pull through

I wish you knew

I hate myself for losing you

And oh, I don't know what to do

Not sure that I'll pull through

I wish you knew, I wish you knew

And oh, I don't know what to say

And I don't know anyway, anymore

No, no

What do you say, when everything you said

Is the reason why he left you in the end

How do you cry when every day you said

Don't ever bring him back again

You gotta be out there

You gotta be somewhere

Wherever you are

I'm waiting...

Cause there are these nights when

I sing myself to sleep

And I'm hoping my dreams bring

You close to me

Are you listening?

Hear me I'm crying out

I'm ready now

Turn my world upside down

Find me

I'm lost inside this crowd

It's getting loud

I need you to see

I'm screaming for you to please

Hear me

Can you hear me?

I used to be scared of

Letting someone in

But it gets so lonely

Being on my own

With no one to talk to and

No one to hold me

I'm not always strong

Oh I need you here

Are you listening?

I'm restless and wild

I fall but I try

I need someone to understand

(Can you hear me?)

I'm lost in my thoughts

And baby I've fought

For all that I've got

Can you hear me?

He drowns in his dreams

An exquisite extreme, I know

He's as damned as he seems

And more heaven than a heart could hold

And if I tried to save him

My whole world could cave in

It just ain't right, it just ain't right

Oh and I don't know

I don't know what he's after

But he's so beautiful

Such a beautiful disaster

And if I could hold on

Through the tears and the laughter

Would it be beautiful?

Or just a beautiful disaster?

I'm longing for love and the logical

But he's only happy hysterical

I'm waitin' for some kind of miracle

Waiting so long,

So long
