Oh, I'm headed for a breakthrough, I see it all
Gonna take me a hammer, knock down the walls
Every stone I chip away, I think of you
I'm headed for a breakthrough

Oh, come on and get here, woman
I don't know where you've been the past few days
My mindful eyes are weak and weary
I shed no tears when I see things clearly
Oh, what good is it anyway?
It's after dark, there's steam from the drains
Solitude is a lonely journey
Got work to do, but I ain't worried

Oh, I'm headed for a breakthrough, I see it all
Gonna take me a hammer, knock down the walls
With every stone I chip away, I think of you
I'm headed for a breakthrough
I'm headed for a breakthrough
I'm headed for a breakthrough
It's gonna get me over you

When your trust is gone
Like being lost, left for dead
The blues can pull you down and leave you empty
Sleeping alone in an empty bed

Oh, I'm headed for a breakthrough, I see it all
Gonna take me a hammer, knock down the walls
With every stone I chip away, I think of you
I'm headed for a breakthrough
I'm headed for a breakthrough
I'm headed for a breakthrough
It's gonna get me over you

You hurt me so bad, it's criminal
Left me on the streets to die
Your version of love is so wonderful
You didn't have to say goodbye

Oh, I'm headed for a breakthrough, I see it all
Gonna take me a hammer, knock down the walls
With every stone I chip away, I think of you
I'm headed for a breakthrough
I'm headed for a breakthrough, I see it all
Gonna take me a hammer, knock down the walls
With every stone I chip away, I think of you
I'm headed for a breakthrough
(Headed for a breakthrough)
I'm headed for a breakthrough
Gonna get me over you
I'm headed for a breakthrough
(Headed for a breakthrough)
I'm headed for a breakthrough, I see it all

(Headed for a breakthrough)
I'm headed for a breakthrough
Yeah (headed for a breakthrough)
I'm headed for a breakthrough, I see it all
