Freedom from Your Shadow

Yeah, I finally found my way out that door

No more chains, no more pain, I’m free now for sure

Came home tired, heard the words you throw

Like I’m dumb, I can’t do right, I don’t even know

You tore me down, until I couldn’t believe in me

Thought I was nothing, just a shadow that you’d see

But I had to break away, find my voice again

Leave behind the tears and all the hurt I couldn’t mend

What’s a man supposed to do when he’s lost inside your storm?

Find the strength to walk away and leave the past in the cold

I don’t regret the roads I’ve traveled, even the mistakes

Cause now I see the man I am, no more chains, no more ache

Yeah, I cheated because I was crumbling, broken inside

But I’ve found my real life now, where I no longer hide

You pushed me to the edge, and I finally jumped

Out of that darkness, into the light, I’ve finally chunked

All the misery and pain that you spun around me

Now I stand tall and proud, where I’m finally me

So here’s to leaving behind the hurt and the lies

Living free, finally, beneath open skies

My life’s so much better now, I’ve finally survived

Without your hold, I’ve truly arrived
