Breakaway Lyrics by Nancy West

Contagious

0

[Verse 1]
Well, you need it: consolation
And I understood so I came right away
Well, it's strange how when we're too near
You take two steps back, is it pride or just fear?

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, you grip my heart then you turn me away
I just can't be sure of a thing that you'll say
Can those eyes tell lies when you tell me you're mine
I can't take it one more time

[Chorus]
Where can I go? How can I hide?
I can't decide if it's real or a game
You're playing with my heart, keeping us apart
Running 'causе it's hard for me to really try and stay
Gotta breakaway

[Verse 2]
How thе days pass, are you feeling
I could pull the strings that'll tie you to me
Then you hold me, reassure me
And my head just spins 'til it stops and I see

[Pre-Chorus]
That you'll grip my heart then you'll turn me away
I just can't be sure of a thing that you'll say
Can those eyes tell lies when you tell me you're mine
I can't take it one more time

[Chorus]
Where can I go? How can I hide?
I can't decide if it's real or a game
You're playing with my heart, keeping us apart
Running 'cause it's hard for me to really try and stay
Gotta breakaway

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, you'll grip my heart then you'll turn me away
I just can't be sure of a thing that you'll say
Can those eyes tell lies when you tell me you're mine
I can't take it one more time

[Chorus]
Where can I go? How can I hide?
I can't decide if it's real or a game
You're playing with my heart, keeping us apart
Running 'cause it's hard for me to really try and
Where can I go? How can I hide?
I can't decide if it's real or a game
You're playing with my heart, keeping us apart
Running 'cause it's hard for me to really try and
Where can I go? How can I hide?
I can't decide if it's real or a game
You're playing with my heart, keeping us apart
Running 'cause it's hard
Gotta breakaway
