Story Behind The Song
It's sort of a chick song about wanting to be independent, not just a pretty thing on a man's arm.
Song Description
I love Breaking Free. I had it demo-ed once before and it sounded more R&B and it was pretty too. However, I changed a few words and added a bridge to this re-write. I've been told not to use the work "contingent" but not every song has to have "ain't" i

Lyrics
Breaking Free
(Re-vised: Sept. 2005)
Written by: Lisa Courtney, BMI
As long as I walk the walk
As long as I talk the talk
As long as I look pretty on your arm
When we walk into the room.
Everything is contingent
On what I say and do
Well, I've made a decision
That might interest you...
I'm leaving you...
Chorus:
Breaking Free
I don't care that I'm alone now
At least I can be me
I'm free.
You say I'll never make it on my own
You say that I'll be sorry some day
Since you have all the right answers
Then answer me this
If my life so happy
Why do I want to leave.
Chorus:
Breaking Free
I don't care if I'm alone now
At least I can be me
I'm free.
Bridge:
I don't have to have you by my side
I know that I was meant to fly.
I don't hate you or wish you any harm
I hope that you'll be happy some day
I just want to make my own choices
Build my confidence back
I truly love you
I just want to be myself.
Chorus:
Breaking free
I don't care if I'm alone now
At least I can be me
I'm free.
Tag:
I just want to be me
Free to be me.
