Dear X, You Don't Own Me

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
