BETH HART
"Setting Me Free"

Hello, hello
Are you in there, child?
Leave that party dress
And your suicidal smile
Hello, hello
I've come to see it done
The stripes across your face
And the battles that he's won

Don't tell me to hide
I've run from living all my life

I'm setting me free
Blood, sweat, and tears
I've been so desperate all these years
Now I'm taking my bones,
And leaving your ring
This house made of glass
Is shattering
I'm setting me free

Hello, hello
I hear the sirens roar
Coming round the bend
Like a thousand times before
Hello, hello
Don't you give up the fight
Like a beat-down dog
Who's forgotten how to bite

Don't tell me it's wrong
I've only come to be your friend

I'm setting me free
Blood, sweat, and tears
I've been so desperate all these years
Don't tell me I'm blind
It's you who won't see
The woman I am
The fighter in me
I'm setting me free

I'm laughing, I'm crying
I'm living, I'm dying
I'm changing the power in me
I'm setting me free!

Like fire and water
I'm mother, I'm daughter
I'm changing the power in me

I'm setting me free
Blood, sweat, and tears
I've been so desperate all these years
I'm taking my bones,
And leaving your ring
Your house made of glass
Is shattering
I'm setting me free

Hello, hello...?
