Set Me Free Lyrics

Uh, uh, uh
Oh, oh, hmm
Listen! Last night you didn't call,
Had me worried all night long
Why you keep doing me wrong?
I don't know, babe!
And it hurts so bad
I'm tired of being sad,
This house is not a home
The love is gone, baby!

I just can't see it,
I can't see, baby!
... staying in this with you
You, you, you!

If you love me
(If you love me)
Set me free,
(Set me free!)
You're just holding to nothing
(You're holding to nothing)
Set me free!
If you love me
Set me free!
'Cause I won't hold to nothing
Just set me free if you love me!

If you love me, if you care
Be man enough to let me go instead of staying here
Pretending like we love each other
When we both know there's something better waiting for me
You just can't see it,
I can see, baby
Wasting any more time,
We're just waiting time
Staying in this
And I just can't stay,
I just can't stay with me!

If you love me
(If you love me)
Set me free,
(Set me free!)
You're just holding to nothing
(You're holding to nothing)
Set me free!
If you love me
Set me free!
'Cause I won't hold to nothing
Just set me free if you love me!

What happened to the love we have?
It went away somehow
It used to be so good, but it's so bad now
And I tried to make it work,
I tried to fit the play
I give it all I got, can't you understand?

If you love me
(If you love me)
Set me free,
(Set me free!)
You're just holding to nothing
(You're holding to nothing)
Set me free!
If you love me
Set me free!
'Cause I won't hold to nothing
Just set me free if you love me!

Set me free, set me free
Let me go cause it's bad for me
We're holding on, we're holding on
Uh, if you love me, let me free!

What is the Meaning of Set Me Free?

In this poignant ballad, Leela James explores the emotional turmoil of a deteriorating relationship where love has faded. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and longing for liberation from an unfulfilling partnership. James questions the sincerity of her partner's affection, urging him to release her if he truly cares. The repetition of "Set me free" underscores her plea for emotional freedom and self-preservation. She acknowledges the once-positive aspects of their relationship but recognizes that staying together only prolongs their mutual unhappiness. This song is a powerful anthem for anyone grappling with the decision to leave a toxic situation in search of personal peace and fulfillment. #EmotionalLiberation #ToxicRelationships
