[Verse 1]

I tried to keep you in my pocket

Couldn't stop you, couldn't stop it

You were running from the very start

I was driving with my hair down

With the breaks on, the lights out

We were drifting, didn't know how far

I see the way you look at me

It's not the same as it used to be

You can say what you want, but

You can say what you want, but you won't stay

Say goodbye, it's so messed up, I'm torn inside

You can say what you want, but I

[Chorus]

I just gotta break free, free

I cry black tears and scream, but you never hear me, me

I can't go on, playing along

Let me go, let me go, let me

Let me go, let me go

The longer you take the harder I break

So let me break free

[Verse 2]

I remember how it started

Like a windstorm, couldn't fight it

We were strangers from the very start

I tried to keep you in my pocket

Couldn't stop you, couldn't stop it

You were running, didn't know how far

I wish you'd just walk away

This is all that I can take

You can say what you want, but I

[Chorus]

I just gotta break free, free

I cry black tears and scream, but you never hear me, me

I can't go on, playing along

Let me go, let me go, let me

Let me go, let me go

The longer you take the harder I break

So let me break free

[Bridge]

I can't go on, playing along

Let me go, let me go, let me

I can't go on, playing along

Let me go, let me go, let me

'Cause I know that I can't wait for you

(Let me go, let me go, let me, baby)

[Chorus]

I just gotta break free, free

I cry black tears and scream, but you never hear me, me

I can't go on, playing along

Let me go, let me go, let me

Let me go, let me go

The longer you take the harder I break

I just gotta break free

Cry black tears and scream, but you never hear me, me

I can't go on, playing along

Let me go, let me go, let me

Let me go, let me go

The longer you take the harder I break

So let me break free
