Dear X (You Don't Own Me)
Lyrics
Dear pain, oh, it's been a long time
Remember when you were holding me tied
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 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
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
