He thinks he has something to give to me
But I’ve been set free
And your cocaine soul
Is not enough to intoxicate and roll
Me up like a cigarette
At least, it hasn’t yet
And you show your cards to the deck
But you don’t see the summer that you wreck
When you try to tear me down
And rip shreds into my beautiful gown
The one I wore to the dance
And I’m all about a second chance
But forget about a third
Because I am a bird
And I’ll fly away from here
I won’t be tethered to you, dear
Not in any of your dreams
You can burst all of the seams
And it still won’t be enough to take
The part of me that I will not forsake
You say you’ve been misunderstood
And all you’ve ever meant was the good
That human beings aspire to
But I was there when you
Pulled the switch on the phone
Called me a bitch and left me alone
To face the dragons that breathe
Down my neck and seethe
With the fumbling weight of time
And I never did call you mine
Because you always moved from the casing
So now I’m intent on erasing
All that you were to me
Is it enough if I set you free?
