Nothing to Lose

Some days I wanna up and call it quits
All my dreams are ripped to bits
I used to have things figured out,
I'm startin' to doubt what I'm about.
I just need to break away
To see what I can find
And leave you far behind.

Some days it feels like I can't escape
My life just won't take shape,
You've taken so much away from me
I don't know who I want to be.
I just need to break away
From the demons I'm forced to keep,
These feelings that are buried deep.

[I just need to break away]
Feels like I'm stuck in a slump
[I just need to break away]
Someone's always pulling me down
[But nobody's listening]
Feels like I'll never get outta this dump
[I just need to break away]
One day soon I'm gonna drown
But nobody's listening.

All this negativity is causing a block
Why does it come as such a shock?
Nothing I do seems good enough
One of these days I'll call your bluff.
I just need to break away
Before I trip and choke
And become your running joke.

Gonna use this rage inside
Let our two worlds collide
I gotta live my dreams in order to feel,
To let my soul begin to heal.
I just need to break away
Standing at an open door
Gonna let my spirit soar.

[I just need to break away]
Feels like I'm stuck in a slump
[I just need to break away]
Someone's always pullin' me down
[But nobody's listening]
Feels like I'll never get outta this dump
[I just need to break away]
One day soon I'm gonna drown
But nobody's listening.

Some days I wanna up and call it quits
All my dreams are ripped to bits
I used to have things figured out
I'm starting' to doubt what I'm about.
Just need to break away
To see what I can find
And leave you far behind.

It's tie to take a stand
And just take matters into my own hands
Ain't gonna take your abuse to heart
'Cause this is where we finally part.
I just need to break away
I know now where I'm heading
The world is mine for the taking.

[I just need to break away]
You're not gonna knock me off my feet
[I just need to break away]
I'm not the same I was back then
[But nobody's listening]
I've finally found my own beat
[I just want to break away]
And I'll never look back again
But you're never listening.
