lyrics

I was your cushion
You were my pin
You would just push and I’d let you in
Lost in a maze
Hollow and raw
planned my escape
Then I found a door

I call on the wind, the rain
A storm to hold all my pain
I call on the land, the sea
To witness what you did to me

Free me Free me
Free me
I WILL FREE ME
Free me
Free me,
Free me,
I WILL SPEAK
You will hear my truth
Can’t love me, if I love you
Free me
Free me,
Free me,
I don’t owe you anything

There is a line
You cannot cross
All this is mine
now I am the boss

I call on the wind, the rain
A storm to hold all my pain
I call on the land, the sea
To witness what you did to me

Free me
Free me
Free me
I WILL FREE ME Free me
Free me,
Free me,
I WILL SPEAK

You have no control over me
You WILL NOT SILENCE me
Justice is all that I see
Justice is everything
You will hear my truth
Can’t love me, if I love you
Free me
Free me,
Free me,
I don’t owe you anything Free me
Free me,
Free me,
I WILL FREE ME
Free me
Free me,
Free me,
I WILL SPEAK
Time to cut you loose
Find a journey without you See me
See me
Now I can finally breathe
