"Free" lyrics

If you only knew how scared I was to tell you
Built it up so much in my head that I let you down
If you only knew the pain I put my heart through
Living a lie for a life can be tiring, so I choose the truth

But you would say "Keep it on the low, nobody needs to know"
They might not see you the same
But I'm too far gone, I know what I want
I know who just I am

Now I'm free, now I'm free
There's no way you can tell me who I'm supposed to be
See now I'm free, now I'm free (Free, free)
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a fucking relief

If you only knew, for years I was so confused
Pushed it right to the back of my head, but always knew what it meant
I was the deepest blue, my strings wandered out of tune
Couldn't see the wood from the trees, yeah, I didn't know what to do

But you would say "Keep it on the low, nobody needs to know"
They might not see you the same
But I'm too far gone, I know what I want
I know who just I am

Now I'm free, now I'm free (Free, free)
There's no way you can tell me who I'm supposed to be
See now I'm free, now I'm free (Free, free)
Oh, what a feeling
Oh, what a fucking relief
'Cause now I'm free
