The person he's left has such a hold on him that, although he knows he's got to complete the break, he can barely bring himself to do it.Īnd the last line, "So baby can't you see, I've got break free", re-enforces that: he hasn't broken free yet, not really. And now he's done it, he realises how much he needed her/it - "I can't get used to living without you/I don't want to live alone". The doubts are setting in now: "But I have to be sure, when I walk out that door" - does he really want to break free? Does he love this person enough to leave whoever he's with at the moment?

By the early 1980s, Queen were one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world. The band's 1977 album News of the World contained "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions", which have become anthems at sporting events.
