Lyrics
Even you, look down on me
I know you’re watchin’ on
Watchin’ on from above
Cause it’s me that’s lookin’ up
What am I, just your caged dove
A victim of your game
Cryin’ n you’re to blame
My hands are tied
But I won’t abide
You ain’t even on my side
(Chorus)
Release Me
Why don’t ya set me free
Release Me
My space isn’t heavenly
Give me the strength ‘n’ let me go
You’re hurtin’ me
Don’t ya know
Release Me
Lookin’ around, I see their claws
What am I even here for
Behind these bars
I’m not givin’ up
You can change the rules
I know this much
You hold my fate ‘n’ know how
With no remorse you’ll play it out
But I won’t fall
No I won’t crawl
Tear my wings
Take it all
(Chorus Repeat)
Oh why, can’t you see
You give yourself, so bleakly
Release Me
Release Me
Release Me
My space isn’t heavenly
Give me the strength ‘n’ let me go
You’re hurtin’ me don’t ya know
Release Me
Why don’t ya
Set me free..
I know you’re watchin’ on
Watchin’ on from above
Cause it’s me that’s lookin’ up
What am I, just your caged dove
A victim of your game
Cryin’ n you’re to blame
My hands are tied
But I won’t abide
You ain’t even on my side
(Chorus)
Release Me
Why don’t ya set me free
Release Me
My space isn’t heavenly
Give me the strength ‘n’ let me go
You’re hurtin’ me
Don’t ya know
Release Me
Lookin’ around, I see their claws
What am I even here for
Behind these bars
I’m not givin’ up
You can change the rules
I know this much
You hold my fate ‘n’ know how
With no remorse you’ll play it out
But I won’t fall
No I won’t crawl
Tear my wings
Take it all
(Chorus Repeat)
Oh why, can’t you see
You give yourself, so bleakly
Release Me
Release Me
Release Me
My space isn’t heavenly
Give me the strength ‘n’ let me go
You’re hurtin’ me don’t ya know
Release Me
Why don’t ya
Set me free..
