Breakaway

She packed a bag one night

Heart so heavy it felt tight

Air as thick as broken glass

Love was fire turned to ash

Every mile pulls her apart

But hope still flickers in her heart

Beneath the pain a light would grow

This chapter’s end a tale to show

Freedom whispered in her ear

Her heartache sang what she couldn’t hear

Shadows danced ’neath soft moon glow

In the taxi she’d let go

Tears rolled down her crimson cheeks

Strength was found but heart was weak

Broken chains now start to fall

She finds her voice, she finds it all

Beneath the pain a light would grow

This chapter’s end a tale to show

Freedom whispered in her ear

Her heartache sang what she couldn’t hear

She’d learned her worth and what she needs

No longer caged, no bitter seeds

In the rearview tears did shine

But ahead a life to find

Streetlights blurred through window pane

Miles erased his cruel domain

In the night she found her way

Heart reborn at break of day

Beneath the pain a light still grows

A brand-new fire the future shows

Freedom rising, strong and clear

Her heart now sings what she longs to hear

At the break of dawn, she breathes again

Love was the cage, but freedom’s her friend

Every scar a story told

But now she walks into the gold
