Breaking the Chains

Tired is my heart
From empty promises you give
Life is what I've chosen
With or without you I will live

Your words have damaged
What cannot now be repaired
But as GOD is my witness
No longer I'll despair

I'll move forward
And never look behind
To wonder what could have been
I've made up my mind

I'm tired of being 
Your pawn to degrade
I've got my choices
And this one's been made

I have a great life
With a wonderful man
He's all that I need
And he's my biggest fan

No more sorrow
No more tears
No more loneliness
Will I fear

My life is now
With him by my side
He gave me love
When all else died

Thank you my love
For standing by me
In my darkest moments
Your love set me free
