Breakaway, my heart is cryin' 
Breakaway, the time is flyin' 
So, I'm gonna tell myself don't sit and mourn 
Lookin' sad and so forlorn 

Tell myself I'm glad I'm born 
Well, I'm gonna breakaway 
Breakaway, the breeze is sighin' 
Breakaway, the time is flyin' 

So, I'm gonna pack a bag and get my coat 
Lock my door and leave a note 
Take a train or take a boat 
Well, I'm gonna breakaway 

I'll take me round from town to town 
I'll see the friends I knew 
I left 'em by the wayside 
But I know their hearts are true 

I'll give myself a holiday 
I need it oh-so bad 
And if I find a new love 
I'll be glad, glad, glad 

Breakaway, my heart is cryin' 
Breakaway, the time is flyin' 
So, I'm gonna find out what this world can give 
While I'm young I'm gonna live 

That's my plan, I'm positive 
Well, I'm gonna breakaway 
I'll take me round from town to town 
I'll see the friends I knew 

I left 'em by the wayside 
But, I know their hearts are true 
I'll give myself a holiday 
I need it oh-so bad 

And if I find a new love 
I'll be glad, glad, glad 
Breakaway, my heart is cryin' 
Breakaway, the time is flyin' 

So, I'm gonna find out what this world can give 
While I'm young I'm gonna live 
That's my plan, I'm positive 
Well, I'm gonna breakaway 

Gonna breakaway 
Gonna breakaway 
Breakaway
