Breaking Away

Freedom from your smothering love Is all I want from you. It's been over for a long time, There's nothing you can do. I know you're waiting like a vulture To sweep my carcass away, Drag me off to Hell again Never to see the light of day. Once, I loved you, But we've run out of time. You tore apart my entire world With your drugs, abuse, and crime. I sincerely apologize For being so heartless and cold, But you are too heavy a burden And you make me feel so old. I bid you farewell After all these years. Move on with your life, Don't mock me with your tears.
