Be Free Without Me
I gave you the key to my heart
And you, in turn, ripped me apart.
I offered you all of me, my heart and soul,
And slowly you claimed me with every kiss you stole.
Then off you went, whisked away,
Did you want me to suffer, day after day
I want to be back in your arms, on your mind
But I've been left to face the unkind.
So I'll watch from afar, remembering what you meant to me
And day by day I'll set my thoughts free
Holding on to what you were
Letting my emotions blur
I'll die, slowly, on the inside
I'll give up, swallow my pride
You can go, be set free
Keep on living, not weighed down by me
We can call that a fair trade if you want to,
Either way I'm stuck only wanting you.
