To Be Free

Let it go
Don't say a word
It doesn't matter
You won't get heard

Don't ask for flowers
Don't ask for help
Love him more
Than you could love yourself

Fix the dinner
Put the clothes in the dryer
Clean up the yard
Like you're the maid for hire


Wake up the house
Keep the smile on your face
Pretend you're okay
Keep up the pace

Ignore his sarcasm
Ignore the mean tone
Ignore the fact
You just want to be alone

Keep up the act
Keep trying to be more
Ignore the feeling
Of wanting to drop to the floor

Stay up all night
Rise early in the morn
Take another pill
So you don't feel so forlorn

Keep him happy
That'll be the glue
Keep him happy
Don't worry about you

Never good enough
Tired of trying to be it all
Ready to just escape
Let it all fall
