Set free


Letting go of inhabitions, having only good intentions.

Trying for better days, seeing new reasons to make me stay.

I don't live to die, I live for today.

 

These are things that set me free.

 

Breathing in fresh air, letting go with no care.

Putting past in past, making happiness last

I don't need razor blades to feel.

 

These are things that set me free.

 

Learning how to find myself, putting photos on the shelf.

Growing into a success, trying hard to be the best.

Push myself to pass the test.

 

These are things that set me free.

 

I don't need to fly away, just to be me for a day

I am pushing to be myself, no longer worried about everyone else

I'm finally glad to be alive

 

These are things that set me free.
