Breaking Free

There's a storm brewing in our little home Silent nights now cut to the bone I tiptoe on eggshells heart in my throat Loving you feels like being cast adrift in a sinking boat Every time I try to stand my ground Your words like bullets tear me down I see the girl I used to be In the mirror she's begging "Set me free" I'm breaking free from your shadow Gonna find my light no more sorrow Taking back my name my dignity I'm breaking free it's time to be just me I gave you everything you took it all Turned my gilded cage into a prison wall You played the part of a caring man But love shouldn't hurt I finally understand The road ahead is a rough terrain But I'd rather walk alone than live in chains With every tear I grow a little stronger Freedom's callin' I won't wait any longer I'm breaking free from your shadow Gonna find my light no more sorrow Taking back my name my dignity I'm breaking free it's time to be just me
