Break Me Away

Yesterday we hung your grandma’s picture frames
And covered our last plain white wall
And now the list of things that they expect of me
Lines the hall

You talk about your little sister's wedding day
With gleam of bitterness in your stare
Do they even love each other anyway?
Do you even care?


Break me away
Break me away
Or I might never leave the shadows of your family name
Take me away
Take me away
Come tomorrow I’ll only have myself to blame
If I stay

Remember when we all went to the steeple chase
Your father had a good tip from a friend
You told me that I couldn’t bet against him
But I did.

Break me away
Break me away
Or I might never leave the shadows of your family name
Take me away
Take me away
Come tomorrow I’ll only have myself to blame
If I stay

If I up and left for Argentina
Would you be right with me by my side
Could you be someone you thought you’d never be
Would you even try?

Break me away
Break me away
Or I might never leave the shadows
of your family name
Take me away
Take me away
Come tomorrow I’ll only have myself to blame
If I stay
