Not Your Possession
Not Your Possession
On this stage
I am going to sing a melody
I am working so hard
yet sometimes I don't feel free
mistakes have conditioned me
but I am human
I just wanted your love
you wanted the chaos
sadness does bring
and so in this body
in this city
I release you
the thorn of my side
the heavy burden....
because I can't be bound by you
and say what you will
even after my heart is still
I know I tried
respect goes both ways
it has to be earned
to be given
Cruelty should have no place
and I am not in the witness box
the grilling of your accusing words
has caused my heart to close off
I have done all that is possible
to save something invisible
it's amazing how you write
the sad words to my songs
yet claim you have not done me wrong
because I can't be bound by you
and say what you will
even after my heart is still
I know I tried
respect goes both ways
it has to be earned
to be given
in your world
you are so right
nothing I can say or do
will ever change that
you have tainted
far too many olive branches
and there comes a time
when they just aren't no more chances
because I can't be bound by you
and say what you will
even after my heart is still
I know I tried
respect goes both ways
it has to be earned
to be given
