Let Me Go

Don’t try to control me
By binding me in chains.
Throwing away the key
Won’t do a thing.

The more you push down,
The harder it is to breathe.
Forcing me to turn away,
You give me no choice, but to leave.

This is no longer a matter of integrity and trust,
This has nothing to do with love or lust.
This is what I must do
To get away from you.
