Lyrics
I AM FREE
Skinny little pretty girl with a tiny face
Always did what I was told hoping I?d be safe
Never got to bold, glad to play the role to be loved
Never cool with kids at school not like I ever tried
Acted like I didn?t care alone at night I?d cry
Now when I look back I?m glad that I can laugh about it all
I am free I don?t need to please
I am free I answer to me
Free to love, free to laugh, free to live
Free to finally breathe
Changed my name I became someone I?d thought you?d like
Anything to make you smile I could jump so high
Thought that you?d approve if I were to do what you said
Solitude now it?s sweet music to my ears
On my own I decide all I have lose is fear
Mapping my own map, chart the virgin path back home
Chorus
Oh can it be nobody could give enough to make me feel good inside
To my surprise I realize they were looking back at me
To fill the same need
