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.
