Lyrics

The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the DanceDanceRevolution cut of Break Free.

If you want it, take it
I should have said it before
Tried to hide it, fake it
I can't pretend anymore

I only want to die alive
Never by the hands of a broken heart
I don't wanna hear you lie tonight
Now that I've become who I really am

This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
'Cause I can't resist it no more

This is the part when I say I don't want it
I'm stronger than I've been before
This is the part when I break free
'Cause I can't resist it no more

* Thought of your body, I came alive
  It was lethal, it was fatal
  In my dreams it felt so right
  But I woke up every time
  Oh baby

  This is the part when I say I don't want it
  I'm stronger than I've been before
  This is the part when I break free
  'Cause I can't resist it no more
