Break away,
Ow.

I'm a fool, half insane,
Heard ‘em all, it's just another name,
I feel good, nothing to hide,
You cast your stone and I step aside,
I used to fight, huh, that's how I'd play,
Now it's changed: I just walk away,
Ooh, look in my eyes,
It's got me hooked, there's no compromise.

You seem lost, you seem lonelyÂ…but don't be afraid.

Break away – leave behind the old life, whoa,
Break away – a touch of love,
Look around, ch-check it out.

Out on the street to stay alive,
You pack a blade and a .45,
You're touch enough, so I've heard,
Love, to you, is just another word,
Walking the line, playing the odds,
It's your life; what will you choose?
You've won before, but what if you lose?

You seem lost, you seem lonelyÂ…but don't be afraid.

Break away – leave behind the old life, whoa,
Break away – ooh, look around, just check it out.

The prize is just ahead, it's waiting,
Fight the fire, don't feed the flame,
Take a chance and break away.

I'm a fool, half insane,
Heard ‘em all, it's just another name,
I feel good, nothing to hide,
You cast your stone and I step aside.

You seem lost, you seem lonelyÂ…but don't be afraid.

Break away – leave behind the old life, whoa,
Break away – leave behind, ooh, leave it behind,
Ooh, yeah – break away.
