I used to perch upon the fence
Just to watch it all
Never get involved
Just watch it all
I never overstepped my boundaries
I let others be
And spent my time taking care of me
I used to hold on to
A very passive point of view
And it served me well enough for quite awhile
But I grew weary wasting time
Trying to make the stars align
And these days that life's just not my style
Chorus:
Cause I'm no longer the same
I'm no longer ashamed
I'm no longer afraid
Oh I'm breaking free
From the tyranny of me
Rescued from the lies I've lived
I belong to you
How can I lose if I say what's true
Even in this age of spin
Why should I pretend
And spend my life trying to fit in
I've sold my soul before
But that won't happen anymore
Vying for love or being nice
Thought I was in control
But I was such a slave, you know
Till you came and saved my life
You've loved me
You've known me
You've freed me
Now you own me
