Set Me Free
Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Set me free (x3)
Stop tearing up my heart
Tearing me apart
Set me free (x3)
Can't break your heart
Set me free
I see when you're driving along the highway
Is love life that is shining in your eyes
I remember everything you have told me
Come on..
Leave me all alone
why don't you go home
So you don't know how happy I will be
I don't need your love
I don't want your love

[Chorus]
So come on and set me free
Set me free (x3)
Stop tearing up my heart
Tearing me apart
Set me free (x3)
Can't break your heart
Set me free (x3)
Stop messing with my mind
You're wasting time
Set me free (x3)
Can't break your heart
Set me free
If you've never wanted to feel my lovin'
Then let me just keep walking on my way
Do you ever think you can change your love life
Your life
Now is the best time to leave it all behind
You really want to make me feel so blue
I don't need your love
I don't want your love
So come on and set me free

[Chorus]

Now I did it all go wrong
I thought love would go on and on and on and on
Want you change, want you change your life
Set me free





[Chorus]
