Eilen Jewell - Breakaway Lyrics

Eilen Jewell Lyrics

"Breakaway"
(originally by Irma Thomas)

I made my reservation
I'm leaving town tomorrow
I'll find somebody new
And there'll be no more sorrow
That's what I do each time
But I can't follow through

I can't break away
Though you make me cry
I can't break away
I can't say goodbye
Well, I'll never, never break away from you

No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no

I'll make that vow to myself
You and I are through
Nothing can change my mind
"I'm sorry" just won't do
That's what I say each time
But I can't follow through

I can't break away
Though you make me cry
I can't break away
I can't say goodbye
I'll never, never break away from you

No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no

Even though you treat me bad
And many cruel words have been spoken
You have cast a spell on me
That just can't be broken

I'll take your picture down
And I'll throw it away
There'll be no baby now
For you to call each day
That's what I say each time
But I can't follow through

I can't break away
Though you make me cry
I can't break away
I can't say goodbye
I'll never, never break away from you

No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
