Lyrics: Break Away

I can keep a secret, but I don’t know if you can
It’s hard to trust someone in the end
And I’m not an open book that you can read over again
Why should we be lovers if we can’t be friends

So now I’m gonna break away
I’m not gonna wear that crown, and look the other way
I’m not gonna stage that play
Or be your clown, forever come what may

Broken every promise, that meant the world to me
I should have read the signs, but I was too blind to see
I clearly saw the future, I held it in my hand
But if sifted through my fingers like silver sand

So now I’m gonna break away
I’m not gonna wear that crown, and look the other way
I’m not gonna stage that play
Or be your clown, forever come what may

So now I’m gonna break away
I’m not gonna wear that crown, and look the other way
I’m not gonna stage that play
Or be your clown

Every emotion, everything you said
Is locked up with a key that I once had
And now I’m walking barefoot, with a hole in my heart
Ready to be filled and not torn apart

So I’m gonna break away
I’m not gonna wear that crown today, and look the other way
I’m not gonna stage that play
Or be your clown, forever come what may

So now I’m gonna break away
I’m not gonna wear that crown, and look the other way
I’m not gonna stage that play
Or be your clown, forever come what may
Forever
Forever
Forever
