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
