I've stepped out I'm free Now it's time to peddle my own wares What's alright with me Has never been a priority of theirs I was so sick of it all No way to be [chorus] Free me, let me out Release me, from this doubt And I know that I don't ever want to pass this way again So glad to be gone Living my life at a slower pace I'm off with a yawn Taking time off from the rat race I'll have no regrets When all's said and done [chorus] It was all I could take It was all I could fake It was all I could forsake At the time You go ahead Screw yourself into the ground I'll take it easy instead Enjoy some life while I'm around At the end of my time It's me who'll be proud [chorus] It was all I could take It was all I could fake It was all I could forsake I'm alive
