I'm thinking about the past today
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I did the right thing walking out the door
I lost a best friend and you to each other
But then my life began
Picking myself up again
I've worked so hard
So hard to be where I am right now
Sometimes I still get so anxious
Thinking that it will all just fall apart
And I realise that this is because of you
You had me so convinced, that I had to fit
You pushed me into that little box
Closed the lid, taped it up, locked it and threw away the key
but I escaped...
So now I still struggle and strive for freedom, but I already have it.
I still refuse to let you win, even though I left you far behind.
Sometimes my mind doesn't fidget and is calm...
but most of the time it does.
Someone else has made it inside this mind
And he's teaching me to trust myself again
With him I am calm, I belong and I trust
My new life is so very different to what you wanted for me, for us
But its what I want and I just need to relax and let it be.
I can't help but notice the irony.
