Free to bleed

(Verse 1)

One day you’ll regret how you treated me

The nights alone that will haunt your sleep

Every tear that I cried, every promise you broke

Now I’m waking up to the words that you spoke

You call me the source of your misery

But when I reached out, you were nowhere to be seen

You taught me to live with the silence instead

With the echoes of all of the things left unsaid.

(Chorus)

I’ll never beg you to choose me

I’ll never beg you to stay

I’m setting you free, you can go on your way

If you think there is better, then go and be free

Life is too short for a heart that won’t see

I deserve someone who holds me when it’s dark

Who hears all the silence and lights up the spark

But you only left me with holes in my chest

I’m tired of failing your impossible test.

(Verse 2)

You say that you’re trapped, that you need to be free

But I just needed you here, standing with me

When the world got too heavy, when the shadows grew tall

You were the one who let me just fall

I sit with the burden, the weight in my soul

While you’re out there playing a different role

You act like the victim, but the villain is you

Taking years of my life, making me wonder what’s true.

(Bridge)

The hands that were meant to protect and to hold

Left me traumatized, left me feeling so cold

The ups and the downs, a dangerous game

I’m losing my footing, I’m forgetting my name

I gave you my trust, I gave you my best

Now I’m just empty, I’m losing the rest

I’m tired of the eggshells, the tip-toeing fear

The king that I loved has just disappeared.

(Chorus)

I’ll never beg you to choose me

I’ll never beg you to stay

I’m setting you free, you can go on your way

If you think there is better, then go and be free

Life is too short for a heart that won’t see

I deserve someone who holds me when it’s dark

Who hears all the silence and lights up the spark

But you only left me with holes in my chest

I’m tired of failing your impossible test.

(Outro)

You turned my heart, once ready to fly

Into something that just sits here and bleeds till it dies

The devil I know is better than the truth

But I’m taking my freedom, I’m finding my youth

I’m walking away from the storm and the sea

I’m finally, finally...

Setting me free.
