My love, I will always love you
But never will I forgive you
For being gone for so long

My heart, forever a little broken
So many nights I've woken
From a dream that you came back to me

So won't you please, please
Please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
Release me

I've been the best at doing the best that I can
I've spent my life in the shadow of a man
Now I wanna be the writer of this song
And a love, not just a longing
In a world that is just calling me to be free

Only I know what we had between us
Some people don't believe us
The things that have been spoken
Would leave anyone heartbroken

But never mine, I'm still a survivor
But I'm begging to be lighter
It's all on me, to set this free

So won't you please, please
Please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
Release me

I've been the best at doing the best that I can
I've spent my life in the shadow of a man
Now I want to be the writer of this song
And a love, not just a longing
In a world that is just calling me to be free

I've lived, I've lived, I've lived
For more than two of your lives
I've lived to move these mountains inside
I've lived just by staying alive

So won't you please, please
Please, please, please
Please, please, please, please
Release me
Release me
