Amos, Tori - Breakaway Lyrics
No I don't expect
You to forgive me this
Siding with the soldiers who say
We cannot win the day
A theatre of war the frame
Their intent: division till
There is no side to take
You feel betrayed
I feel played
By our so called friends
Not the friends we should have made
So when the story ends
And the stage goes dark
The writing on the wall
Then I beg the bard
To write another scene
Because you're the one
Who taught me to believe
There is something more
That I need to say
I should have said it though
I should have said it though
Before yesterday
Before your breakaway
This jungle is dark
But full of diamonds
That can cut and exploit
With just a whiff of blood
"Faith in spades" in us
So what were the odds
Our hand of hearts would have to fold
To their flush of clubs
You've been betrayed
And I've been played
At least they made me exit
Through their chopper on the stage
So when the story ends
And the stage goes dark
And we all can hear
The writing on the wall
Then I beg the bard
To write another scene
Because he's the one
Who taught me to believe
There is nothing more
That I need to say
I should have said it though
I should have said it though
Before yesterday
Before your breakaway

Amos, Tori Breakaway Comments
Watching Tori Amos is like watching a whole life transpire before your eyes in musical confessional. Fascinating woman.
what a ... ok - truly i mostly like KRISTEEN
Winds of change?
I Always thought that Tori Amos songs are more intense if She sings and plays piano all alone without any arrangements. The arrangements don't add anything to her art.
beauti... uh oh
Tori, love you, love your voice, love the history and influences you have contributed, and this proformance is quite remarkable. I just need to say, that I find it hard to reconcile matching your voice, posture, and finally-your appearance to the memories of +25 years of watching you preform. If I didn't know better, I would assume an impostor was lip syncing. Yes she is entirely privelidged to do what she pleases with her appearance, but part of our identity is our history. I would only wish Tori happiness, and I thoroughly appreciate her artistry...but I just don't recognize this person that sits before that piano.
Moja baba...
Thank yo.
This has become my favorite on the album. I have loved this woman's music since Little Earthquakes. She continues to amaze me.
You should go on Dr. Phil and talk about your rape. Are you worried it will sexually arouse the viewers ? Dr. Phil can't talk to himself sweetie pie.
Is this song about being a les ? Stay away from my dog ! This girl's morally bankrupt, tren. So sorry. Closer. Nin.
I am just waiting for her to do her signature piano stool acrobatics...though
i haven't listened to her in decades, and just clicked this and immediately that voice gave me chills. She is absolutely genius. Gorgeous, velvet voice. I didn't even listen to the whole song before it hit me, I can listen to anything she sings.
i love the whole album- especially bats,bang and climb. this one is great too
Still don't understand why cardi b is more famous than us??
Sigh, love this woman so much... can't wait for a new tour. I need my Tori hug!
I got a tattoo on my leg because they're never going to change. It's just the genes. I know how to use them too. I'm not a fridged Les like you. Hey, who's Les ?
Years passing by, but her talent still remains... Beautiful song!!!
Oh I found you again today. I am immediately sorry for my absent years. What a beauty in every way. X
she's more beautiful now than ever before
i like much 1996 ;)
super-talented feisty women have it tough in this caveman culture...nonstop respect
Nice music! Makes me think of Alanis Morisette's "Uninvited" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvgi7P97lu0
I'm in love with those eyes... those lips, that hair, that face... But mostly, I'm in love with that brain, that voice, that sensibility. Te amo Tori.
I feel like her music at this point in her life is like a pilgrimage. She deserves love!
I was quite happy with Unrepentant Geraldine and then WOW Native Invader turned out to be another masterpiece. All the songs on the album including bonus tracks, Upside Down 2 and Russia, are beautiful.
Beyond beautiful . . . many thanks for posting this
What a beautiful song from a fantastic album.......
Look carefully at the way she disengages her body from that Bösendorfer at the end of her performance. Watch her head, her posture... but most importantly, watch her hands slipping away in caress.This is an artist in love her with her instrument, folks. And this is why her music is often so remarkable.Thank you Tori, and thanks to The Current.
Why wear glasses with no glass in them?
hmm, I think that you really need glasses (a real one as she wears)
look closer
Wonderful.
Mozart,Beethoven,Chopin...well for me they're alright! Nevertheless TORI AMOS IS A LIVING LEGEND WHO WILL NEVER DIE AND HER MUSIC WILL LIVE FOR FUCKING CENTURIES TO COME,JUST LIKE JOHN LENNON'S TORI GOD BLESS YOU,YOU FUCKING ROCK GIRL!God I bet that Elvis,Lennon and Buddy are sitting on the cloud thinking GOD that girl is real something!oh yes she is she's real something that girl is!God bless your soul Tori dont ever stop what your doing my dear as youre doing it so damn well😁xxxxx
Ooooh. Magic.
❤👥💜
kalee if you readin this you a nasty nigga. and you're totally a nigga not a bitch
What piano was it The Current ?
It's a Steinway
Continuuaaaa liindaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Is it just me, or isn't this woman just an absolute genius?
eys she is
she is my goddess forever.
La wea buena
NICE SONG
Is that the Bose?
Oh shell never make it in the music business, with those glasses. Kidding .great voice.
Edad Martin she already made it babe.
soooooo stunning. You just get lost in the artistry.
This is one of my favorite tracks on Native Invader. The influence of classical can definitely be heard in this one but the content and the lyrics are so present in today's narrative. This is why Tori Amos is one of the greatest modern composers and song writers. I said it on the Reindeer King video and I will say it again, I am privileged and blessed to live with her music in my lifetime and to have her as a teacher that compels me to think and break out of my own comfort zones. I have loved Tori since 1994 and I cannot wait for more stories and more journeys with her and the music.
Agreed.
