In the Shadows

It is my life, my life

I need to live my own life to be free

Out on my own is a world that is strange to me

Let me go lose control my time is now

Why can't you see and leave me be

I never had things go my way, you always had them go your way

Now I will have it all my way

I will have it all my way you will not beat me

HOW COULD YOU RUIN MY LIFE

Why can't you just set me free

I never had things go my way, you always had them go your way

Now I will have it all my way

I will have it all my way you will not beat me

For all these years you controlled my movements

Dictated all my actions, reshaped my thoughts

Tore apart my dreams now that it is done

Endured the test of time my freedom I've won

Now my life is my own stay far away

Freedom addictive corrupts me each day

Feeling myself beign drawn back to you

I must relent and stay alone

I must keep you from me

You must keep you from me, from me!

This is my life, it is my own, I will not hide in the shadows

HOW COULD YOU RUIN MY LIFE

Why can't you just set me free
