Lyrics Breakin' The Rules - Robbie Robertson

Breakin' The Rules

I tried to reach you
On Valentine’s Day
But how can I reach you
When you’re so far away
Don’t make me a victim
Don’t make me the clown
With my arms reaching out
And my head hanging down
We can’t go on Touching the flame
Breakin the rules
Of the game
I bring you this cross
I carved out of wood
I’m just trying to tell you
That I’d change if I could
Grew up on the west side
Never even been to the east side
Don’t know what they do with their lives
Over there — over there
We can’t go on Hiding the pain
Breakin the rules
Of the game
We can’t go on Living in shame
Breakin the rules
Of the game
