You say those words, you make me cry.
Last time you came around it was all a lie.
But I'm not gonna take it.
You took my heart to break it.
Oh, why can't you let me go?

I wanna be free from you.
I want you to feel it too.
I want you to finally see,
that this is how it has to be.
I want you to carry on.
I want you to stay strong.
I want you to finally see,
that this is how it has to be.

You wrote me back, one letter I can't forget.
But I can't believe any word you say you meant.
So I don't wanna take it.
You said we would make it.
But then, you let me go.

I wanna be free from you.
I want you to feel it too.
I want you to finally see,
that this is how it has to be.
I want you to carry on.
I want you to stay strong.
I want you to finally see,
that this is how it has to be.

You don't have the strength to shut that door.
You can't understand that I can't take it anymore.

I wanna be free from you.
I want you to feel it too.
I want you to finally see,
that this is how it has to be.
I want you to carry on.
I want you to stay strong.
I want you to finally see,
that this is how it has to be.

From all that we could have seen,
All of these words, I mean.

This is a real life experience and I hope you guys can see that it IS possible to tell people that you can't be with them even though it hurts. It could be the best thing for you...
