I asked you for the key to unlock these cuffs.
I want to break free. Loving you is too tough.
I've been losing me in your love far too long.
And "Loving You" is no longer my favorite song.
My voice is back and I need you to hear it.
As louder and stronger it gets bit by bit.
You took my voice and locked it in your jail.
True love shouldn't make you feel like hell.
And then you said you never had a hold on me.
I reached in my pocket and there was the key.
