Breakin' Away From Sanity Lyrics - Kim Carnes

(Kim Carnes/Craig Krampf) 

Nearly every nite I stay awake 

And I don't understand it myself 

Livin' on the edge--it's almost real 

You can't depend on me 

I'm breakin' away from sanity 

Showin' the ghost inside of me 

I'm running away 

From you and me 

Breakin' away from sanity 

Breakin' away from sanity 

I talk to myself when you're not there 

Oh if you could read my mind 

I'm chained to nothin' 

But it's all chained to me 

You can't depend on me 

I'm breakin' away from sanity 

Showin' the ghost inside of me 

I'm running away 

From you and me 

Breakin' away from sanity 

Breakin' away from sanity 

Nearly every night I stay away 

And I don't understand it myself
