[ Featuring the Cavaliers ]
I read your scarlet letter
I waited for the phone to ring
I swore I should know better
But better isn't everything
I did a lot of thinking
I did a lot of drinking, too
I felt like I was losing
Myself when I was losing you
So, I got a different number
And I got a different name
I've done all this growing
And you just stayed the same
Here I am
Standing proud
I wish you
Could see me now
Unafraid
Of who I am
Time has made me
Free again
They say the darkest hour
Is the one that comes before the dawn
But I watched my life go lightless
From the moment I knew you were gone
The darkness made me reckless
I met a lot of restless nights
Oh, my heart, it took a bruising
Every beat declared a losing fight
So, I got a different number
And I got a different name
Somehow I started glowing
Then the morning came
Here I am
Standing proud
I wish you
Could see me now
Unafraid
Of who I am
Time has made me
Free again
Free again
Someday you might call me
Someday you might write
As if you saying "sorry"
Might put the world to rights
But I found different dreams
On all those sleepless nights
And from where I'm standing
The future sure looks bright
If you wanna know
If I'm alright
Here I am
Standing proud
And your face
Lost in the crowd
Unafraid
Of who I am
Time has made me
Free again
Here I am
Standing proud
And your face
Lost in the crowd
Unafraid
Of who I am
Time has made me
Free again
