As i stand here and think about you i remember all the pain you put me through Now your gone and i hate you cause everything you said was a lie You told me you would never leave me and you told me that you loved me The memories i have of you slip away in the wind and i'm happy I know how lonely you remain without me the memories of you fade away in the distance Today i'm fine without you and i'm free cause i let you control me for all those years I'm finally free to love, hate, celebrate i'm free to feel joy and pain I'm free to dance dance and sing i run away and as i run the memory of you fades away After everything you put me i know that i have the freedom and the will to be me Cause the memory of you helps me hold on to my past but also it helps me to let go of you
