Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you'll see it all around you
When you fight the light that makes you bloom
Before you break and petals start to fall around you
I can't be the one to catch them when you're crashing down
[Verse 2]
Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all
Before it drags you under?
[Verse 3]
Stay, you'll feel it all around you
When you find a way to make it through
Cross the line, don't find yourself in need of rescue
I can't be the one to catch you
[Verse 4]
Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all
Before it drags you under?
[Verse 5]
Break and separate
Break and separate
Break and separate
Break and separate
[Verse 6]
Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all?
Break and separate
Can you break away from it all?
