Setting Myself Free

By: R. A. Cvetich

I’m sweeping up the shards of a broken relationship
And tossing them out of my heart
Patching up the wounds inflicted long ago
Preparing for a new start
Releasing memories I kept locked away
Erasing words I never planned to say
Igniting flames to start burning
Any thoughts of him returning
Destroying what I knew would never last
Yeah, I’m ready to let go of my past

CHORUS
I’m ready to break away the chains that I locked myself in
To say goodbye to heartache and learn to love again
I’m gonna live like there’s no tomorrow
And love like I’ve never known sorrow
I’m gonna do what is best for me:
Forget all that used to be
I’m setting myself free

I’m forgetting dreams that were never meant to come true
And exiling them from my mind
Trampling any feelings of love for him
That were all a waste of time
Killing all the jealousy
Of the girl he chose instead of me
Refusing to keep caring
About the life we’ll never be sharing
Drying all the tears I never should’ve cried
I’m letting go of the pain I held inside

Repeat CHORUS

Bridge
I’m done missing that boy who never mattered
I’m piecing back together the life that he shattered
I cried out but he never listened
So I locked myself inside a prison
Of everything we used to be
But I’m done giving him the best of me
So I’m setting myself free

Repeat CHORUS
