Breakaway lyrics

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 try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right

Oh when 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

Hear me, hear me

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 the crowd, it's getting loud
I need you to see

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, dyin' 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

Da, da, da, da, da..
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da…

Da, da, da, da, da.
Da, da, da, da, da.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da ……..

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I’d just stare out my window
Dreaming 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

Oh
Oh oh
Ohhh
Oh
Oh oh

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

(prechorus)
Now I can't breathe
No I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

(chorus)
Here I am
Once again
I'm torn into peices
Can't deny it
Can't pretend

What you see's not what you get
With you there's just no measurement
No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
Your eyes they sparkle
That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
You washed away the best of me
You don't care

You know you did it
I'm go To find someone to live for
In this world
There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight

I don't believe in the smile that you leave
When you walk away and say goodbye
Well, I don't expect the world to move underneath 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 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
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

Here's the thing
We started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long, til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say

But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time

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

It's like you're a drug
It's like you're a demon I can't face down
It's like I'm stuck
It's like I'm running from you all the time

And I know I let you have all the power
It's like the only company I seek is misery all around

It's like you're 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

You've got your mother and your brother
Every other, undercover, telling you what to say
You think I'm stupid
But the truth is, that it's Cupid, baby
Loving you has made me this way

So before you point your finger
Get your hands off of my trigger, oh yeah
You need to know the situations getting old
And now the more you talk, the less I can take

I'm looking for attention
