dear x (you don't own me)

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 going to take me

you can bend

but you're never going to break me

i was yours

i'm not yours anymore

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 made 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 going to take me

you can bend

but you're never going to break me

i was yours

i'm not yours anymore

you don't own me

go ahead

put a target on my forehead

you can fire

but you've got no bullet

i was yours

i'm not yours anymore

you don't own me

you tempted me to look back

but everything that we had together was a lie

go ahead

you're never going to take me

you can bend

but you're never going to break me

i was yours

i'm not yours anymore

you don't own me

go ahead

put a target on my forehead

you can fire

but you've got no bullet

i was yours

i'm not yours anymore

you don't own me

go ahead

put a target on my forehead

you can fire

but you've got no bullet

i was yours

i'm not yours anymore

you don't own me
