In the Shadows

It is my life, my life
I need to live my own life to be free
Out on my own is a world that is strange to me
Let me go lose control my time is now
Why can’t you see and leave me be
I never had things go my way, you always had them go your way
Now I will have it all my way
I will have it all my way you will not beat me
HOW COULD YOU RUIN MY LIFE
Why can’t you just set me free
I never had things go my way, you always had them go your way
Now I will have it all my way
I will have it all my way you will not beat me
For all these years you controlled my movements
Dictated all my actions, reshaped my thoughts
Tore apart my dreams now that it is done
Endured the test of time my freedom I’ve won
Now my life is my own stay far away
Freedom addictive corrupts me each day
Feeling myself beign drawn back to you
I must relent and stay alone
I must keep you from me
You must keep you from me, from me!
This is my life, it is my own, I will not hide in the shadows
HOW COULD YOU RUIN MY LIFE
Why can’t you just set me free
