Dear pain, oh, it’s been a long time Remember when you were holding me tight I would stay awake with you all night Dear shame, I was safe in your arms You were there when it all fell apart I would get so lost in your beautiful lies
I let you go But you’re still chasing
Go ahead, you’re never gonna take me You can bend, but you’re never gonna break me I was yours; I’m not yours anymore Oh, you don’t own me
Dear hate, I know you’re not far You would wait at the door of my heart I was amazed at the passion in your cries Dear anger, you make me so high You were faithful to show up on time Such a flame that was burning in your eyes
I let you go But you’re still chasing
Go ahead, you’re never gonna take me You can bend, but you’re never gonna break me I was yours; I’m not yours anymore Oh, you don’t own me Go ahead, put a target on my forehead You can fire, but you got no bullets I was yours; I’m not yours anymore Oh, you don’t own me
It’s tempting me to look back But everything that we had together was a lie
Go ahead, you’re never gonna take me You can bend, but you’re never gonna break me I was yours; I’m not yours anymore Oh, you don’t own me Go ahead, put a target on my forehead You can fire, but you got no bullets I was yours; I’m not yours anymore Oh, you don’t own me
