This town is a great big swamp, Nothing but weeds ever grow here. And I've been getting sucked down more and more each day, For a long time now, I've known it's time to leave But it's not easy baby, (it's not easy baby) No it's never easy (yes I know it's hard) Just gotta leave you baby. I know you'll never go, But you know it's time to Breakaway, Before I fade away, I gotta breakaway before it's too late Why don't you ever listen to me baby? It's like you're sleeping and I can't get through. Don't you see we're falling apart more and more each day. We gotta get out before it's too late. I know it aint easy baby, Oh, it's not easy for me (it's not easy baby) I don't know how to leave you baby,(yes I know it's hard) Cos I know you'll never go, you'll never go and I got to Breakaway, Before I fade away It's time to Breakaway
