Breaking Free Crewe
(ahhhh) Secret song in my bedroom,
2 AM again, Whispers when the lights go out,
Things got sticky, heavy on my chest,
Got a one-way ticket out of this town.
Everyone's watching, counting on me,
Can't break free when the walls cave in,
Drama on loop, on and on and on,
Need these roads more than school again.
Oh whoa whoa whoa,
Don't wanna carry the weight,
Just wanna go vast,
go hide 'til it's cool,
Approval was unlikely, yeah I know,
One foot out the door.
I smashed through the school doors,
what did I see?
Betrayal again and again on repeat,
Born and raised in Crewe,
Cheshire rain on me,
14 to 17 locked up,
couldn't breathe. But I'm not done,
I'm not faded, I may not speak well spoken but I'm still
standing, Don't want nothing chasing me,
Can I make amends?
Is that feasible?
I know the best way to fall back,
When the pressure's getting kinda heavy,
Yeah I cause a distraction,
Say I'll travel far so I never fade away.
Scream and call and I'm falling,
Crawling out the woodwork just to be seen,
Riding the race for so long,
Holding on to a dream they said I couldn't dream.
Oh whoa whoa whoa,
Don't wanna get kicked out again,
Don't wanna lose the one good thing I got left,
Just need a week or two away,
To clear my head.
I smashed through the school doors,
what did I see?
Betrayal again and again on repeat,
Bet my life on a notion that I could be free,
Young Offender to 18,
finally me. But I'm not done,
I'm not faded, I may not speak well spoken but I'm still
standing, Don't want nothing changing me,
I cannot give up,
got up to fight again!
If probation lets me go home,
If I can walk down Nantwich Road alone,
Look my mum in the eye and say I'm changed,
Is that feasible? Is it too late?
I smashed through the school doors,
now I finally see,
I don't need their approval to be me,
Crewe girl, 18, got a second chance maybe,
Riding the race, but I'm riding for me.
I cannot give up,
got up to fight again!
Got up to fight again!
(riding for me) (yeah)
