Finally Set Free

It amazes me how I managed to live in this world
of pretend for three years, forgetting everything I needed
I allowed you to tell me what I felt
I never listened to what my friends pleaded

How could I see that you were just a seducer of innocense?
I idolized you, believed you could never hurt me
but I realize now I was completely and utterly wrong
I hate that I was so blinded I couldn't see

You broke my heart, again, and again
but yet I still believed you loved me
why did no one wake me from this wretched dream
if I had awoken, maybe I would've been set free

You caged me from the world, you clipped my wings
as if you controlled me, like a bird
and expected me to always listen to you
and all the things people said, I never heard

These last few months, I found that key
that locked me into this horrible dream
and with all the strength I had, I turned the key
and I smiled when I saw this huge beam

Of sunlight shining down, telling me it was ok
allowing me to finally find my heart's true desire
to find myself, live up to my strengths
and step away from this pathological liar
