Dan kau tiada bersikap…

Keraguan…
Senyum tercerabut hamparan bayang.
Mengekang langkah hati merangkul rasa.

Hingga sedarahmu menarik nafasmu

Tentang kebebasan?
“Ah… Jangan kau sentuh!”
Sahutku yang membingungkanmu.

Dan tiada kau pahami arti cinta

Tentang hati enggan bersambut…
Bekukan rasa yang menjulang bebas.
“Apa arti sebuah cinta?” tanyaku merintih.

Sang nona tengah menunggu…

“Apakah kau mencintainya?”
Tanyaku diantara keraguan hatimu
“Sentuhlah untuk satu percintaan…”
Harapku kepadamu dalam lukisan kata.

Kutanamkan di kedalaman mimpi

Untuk kebebasan…
Diantara pemberontakan hatimu,
kuberharap nyata, walau tiada bersauh.

Kau memahaminya, namun tiada asamu

Sedarahmu terlahir,
bukan untuk kebebasanmu.
Ya, kau tahu itu…

Untuk sebuah nona di hatimu

Pejamkanlah matamu, untuk sesaat.
Guratkanlah alunan romansa di hatimu,
hingga kesejukannya menggerakkan rasamu.
Walau kau tengah berjuang untuk merangkulnya.

Demi sebuah cintamu!

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake, a smile, a laugh
Every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanting to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could breakaway

[chorus]
I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I’ll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love
I’ll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jetplane, far away
And breakaway

[chorus]
I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
I’ll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I’ll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won’t forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging round revolving doors
Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me
But, gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

[chorus 2]
I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta
Take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Breakaway
Breakaway

How you doin’ young lady
That feelin’ that you givin’ really drives me crazy
You don’t haveta play about the joke
I was at a loss of words first time that we spoke

Looking for a girl that’ll treat you right
You lookin’ for her in the day time with the light
You might be the type if I play my cards right
I’ll find out by the end of the night

N: You expect me to let you just let you hit it
But will you still respect me if you get it

All I can do is try, gimme one chance
What’s the problem I don’t see no ring on your hand

I be the first to admit it, I’m curious about you, you seem so innocent

N: You wanna get in my world, get lost in it
Boy I’m tired of running, lets walk for a minute

Chorus-
Promiscuous girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And it’s you that I want

N: Promiscuous boy
You already know
That I’m all yours
What you waiting for?

Promiscuous girl
You’re teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

N: Promiscuous boy
Let’s get to the point
Cause we’re on a roll
Are you ready?

Verse-
N: Roses are red
Some diamonds are blue
Chivalry is dead
But you’re still kinda cute

Hey! I can’t keep my mind off you
Where you at, do you mind if I come through

N: I’m out of this world come with me to my planet
Get you on my level do you think that you can handle it?

They call me Thomas
last name Crown
Recognize game
I’m a lay mine’s down

N: I’m a big girl I can handle myself
But if I get lonely I’ma need your help
Pay attention to me I don’t talk for my health

I want you on my team
N: So does everybody else.

Baby we can keep it on the low
Let your guard down ain’t nobody gotta know
If you with it girl I know a place we can go

N: What kind of girl do you take me for?

Chorus-
Don’t be mad, don’t get mean
N: Don’t get mad, don’t be mean

Hey! Don’t be mad, don’t get mean
N: Don’t get mad, don’t be mean

Wait! I don’t mean no harm
I can see you with my t-shirt on

I can see you with nothing on
feeling on me before you bring that on

Bring that on
N: You know what I mean

Girl, I’m a freak you shouldn’t say those things

I’m only trying to get inside your brain
To see if you can work me the way you say

It’s okay, it’s alright
I got something that you gon’ like

Hey is that the truth or are you talking trash
Is your game M.V.P. like Steve Nash

Chorus-
Promiscuous Girl
Wherever you are
I’m all alone
And its you that I want

N: Promiscuous Boy
I’m calling your name
But you’re driving me crazy
The way you’re making me wait

Promiscuous Girl
You’re teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

N: Promiscuous Boy
We’re one in the same
So we don’t gotta play games no more
