Set Me Free
Nerdee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've always been the one to blame,
you think I enjoy all the pain.
And I tried to be good for all of you but still
you ask me to be who I don't want to be,
still you ask me to be, someone else.

I do what I want to,
there's no way you can force me,
I fear things you don't see but still you
ask me to be who I don't want to be,
still you ask me to be, to be.

I wanna fly in the endles sky with you,
I wanna be who I am and be with you,
set me free.

I guess I'm only wasting my time and all the hope is gone,
once again I crawl back inside myself,
still you ask me to be who I don't wan to be,
still you ask me to be, to be.
