I used to be free
I want to be free again
But I shut the door
And I wonder how long it's been
I've not let you stand
I stood in your light
And I've guilty hands
And you don't know why
Till I let you go
I let you go
I let you go from the place
I've held you down below
Six feet under
And I tried to keep you there
Oh with my pride and my selfishness
I was the one dyin' inside
I clipped your wings
I clipped my own
We both sit quietly
In the darkness
Of an unforgiving hope
Until I come to terms
With the cage that I put you in
I'll never be free
Or say "You're forgiven", no
Till I let you go
I let you go
I let you go from the place
I've held you down below
Six feet under
And I tried to keep you there
Oh with my pride and my selfishness
I was the one dyin' inside
Till I let you go
I let you go
I let you go from the place
I've held you down below
Six feet under
And I tried to keep you there
Oh with my pride and my selfishness
I was the one dyin' inside
Oh with my pride and my selfishness
I was the one dyin' inside
