Break Free


I need to let you go

Break Free of your Chains

You try to keep me on a short leash

You loosen it up to let me think I'm free

But you were only fooling me

You play with my mind

You toy with my heart

To you those things mean nothing

For the longest I sat in the dark

Blinded to all your faults

Now I see the light

I see the person you really are

I see that you love but the only person that matters

You love yourself and everyone else is just collateral

You say you love me but now I see you don't

To you I am just your pawn

Your flute

Your fool

You don't really want me

But you don't want me to move on

You let me think you're gone

When really you are just creeping in the shadows

I have at long last found my key

I have removed my chains

I have finally once and for all from

I have broke free.
