[Verse 1]

I killed a dream

When I broke a promise to you

I tore the seam

That we had been holding on to

I took a chance, my envy surged

But I could not control the urge

No, I never should have hurt you

Now I'm waiting for the year

That my sentence disappears

I'm in a prison of regret

[Chorus]

Set me free, set me free

I don't want to believe

This is me, this is me, it can't be

Down with pride, down with hate

I've watched my anger recede

Look and see, you've changed me, set me free

[Verse 2]

I lived and learned

When I broke a promise to you

I crashed and burned

You'll never know the hell I've been through

Serving beneath a higher power

Ruling from a castle tower

It was so hard for me to bear

And now you have to understand

I have learned my lesson and

Now I want to clear the air

[Chorus]

Set me free, set me free

I don't want to believe

This is me, this is me, it can't be

Down with pride, down with hate

I've watched my anger recede

Look and see, you've changed me, set me free

[Bridge]

No hard feelings, let's start reeling time back to before

You entrapped me, managed to catch me, and do so much more

But I've controlled it, I can hold it, the nightmare inside

No secrets here, I'm crystal clear, there's nothing left to hide

So I implore you, look before to who I was back then

Think of me and, set me free to let this torture end

[Chorus]

Set me free, set me free

I don't want to believe

This is me, this is me, it can't be

Down with pride, down with hate

I've watched my anger recede

Look and see, you've changed me, set me free
