Written by t. ackerman, m. percy & t. lever Breakin' away Breakin' away It's hard leaving Walking away from someone just to start again We are ever needing Keeping that someone to care just to give us strength So as life changes with every day We got to move forward There's got to be a better way Start over with every chance I will be there Now I'm breakin' away (breakin' away) All I needed was time and room to grow I got something to say (breakin' away) Now I know I can make it on my own Now I'm breakin'away (yeah, yeah) It's hard giving Giving out all that you've got when there's no return When you find you're living Living for everyone else there's so much to learn So as life changes with every day We got to move forward There's got to be a better way Start over with every chance I will be there Now I'm breakin' away (breakin' away) All I needed was time and room to grow I got something to say (breakin' away) Now I know I can make it on my own Now I'm breakin'away (yeah, yeah) Seems like I've waited Seems like it's taken forever (just to break free) It feels like I've wasted my life Now that we're not together.
