I'm Free
You took me for granted, 
 and I can no longer stand it.
 This is my life,
 and it's my respect that I demand,
 and it's my life now that I will command.
 I will no longer let you control me,
 so you better listen up.
 I gave up everything just for you,
 stood by your side, completely devoted;
 Grateful all the way?
 Nope, this is just how I get repaid.
 Being a mess,
 always wanting to come back to you,
 and I haven't heard not once,
 that you appreciate me-
 I deserve respect.
 I did my absolute best to give you nothing less than perfectness.
 And I know if I keep this up
 I will have nothing left,
 but you know what you've done
 so there is no reason to go into depth.
 You neglected me, 
 and sure did me a favor,
 my heart is finally free.
