[Opening] I kept your jacket on the chair by the door Keys in the bowl, same crack in the floor We both know what this is before it starts So I’m saying it plain, no sharp edges, no parts [Intro] Yeah, I’m not here to drag it out Not gonna dress it up now If this is where we go I’m ready to let go [Pre-Verse] You don’t need another speech from me The look on your face says everything I’ve stayed too long, I’ve made this small Now I’m stepping out before I lose it all [Verse] You called around midnight just to hear me cave I’d answer too quick, then I’d act brave Coffee gone cold on the kitchen side Same old excuses, same old lines You’d leave a space I kept trying to fill Like a leak in the roof, like a bad refill I learned your timing, I learned your games But I was the one still saying your name [Pre-Chorus] Now I can feel it in my hands This is the part I understand I’m not built to stay and bend I’m breaking loose before the end [Chorus] I’m gonna break away, out of your reach Cut the cord, let the good parts breathe No more circling the same old drain No more staying just to feel the strain I’m gonna break away, clean and true Take my shoes by the front door, leave with the truth If you were holding on, you should let me be I’m not coming back to what was breaking me [Bridge] I don’t hate you, I just know the cost Too many nights we both got lost In the same room, saying less and less Calling it love when it felt like stress So let the silence do what it does Let it carry off the dust I’m walking out with my name intact And I won’t be looking back [Outro] I’m breaking away, yeah I’m breaking away From the habit, from the ache I’m breaking away [End] I’m gone before the morning comes No big speech, no loaded tongue Just the open road, just me and the day I’m breaking away
