"Breaking Away" Lyrics

I'd really like to think that you were thinking of me
so close to you & yet you seem to be so far away
(so far away, so far)
until i just could not see you

by breaking away, you've broken the rules
by breaking my heart, you loved like a fool
by breaking away, you made me give in
by making me lose when i thought i could win

you're just a man, the kind of man with modern problems
can't rest his heart, he's got to go & be so far away
(so far away, so far) so far away, yeah
but this time i've something to say

by breaking away, broken the rules
breaking my heart, loved just like a fool
breaking away, oh, you went & made me give in
just by taking away all the love that you promised to give

(i saw the writing) clearly on the wall
it told me (watch your heart) it hurts when you call
(and yet, don't want to lose) i could not give in
i was lost in the fight, i just wanted to win

(breaking away) aww baby (broken the rules)
(breaking my heart, you loved just like a fool)
(breaking away) well baby i'm still loving you
(made me give in) with all the pain you put me through
can't you see?

by breaking away, you've broken the rules
by breaking my heart, you loved just like a fool
by breaking away, you made me give in
by making me lose when i thought i could win

i hear your name (over & over & over & over)
i don't know why 'cause you're to blame
ooh, wee baby, come back baby, save me baby
save this broken heart
breaking away
my baby
breaking away, you've broken the rules
breaking away
Breaking Away...
