Dear pain, oh, it’s been a long time 
Remember when you were holding me tight 
I would stay awake with you all night 
Dear shame, I was safe in your arms 
You were there when it all fell apart 
I would get so lost in your beautiful lies 

I let you go 
But you’re still chasing 

Go ahead, you’re never gonna take me 
You can bend, but you’re never gonna break me 
I was yours; I’m not yours anymore 
Oh, you don’t own me 

Dear hate, I know you’re not far 
You would wait at the door of my heart 
I was amazed at the passion in your cries 
Dear anger, you make me so high 
You were faithful to show up on time 
Such a flame that was burning in your eyes 

I let you go 
But you’re still chasing 

Go ahead, you’re never gonna take me 
You can bend, but you’re never gonna break me 
I was yours; I’m not yours anymore 
Oh, you don’t own me 
Go ahead, put a target on my forehead 
You can fire, but you got no bullets 
I was yours; I’m not yours anymore 
Oh, you don’t own me 

It’s tempting me to look back 
But everything that we had together was a lie 

Go ahead, you’re never gonna take me 
You can bend, but you’re never gonna break me 
I was yours; I’m not yours anymore 
Oh, you don’t own me 
Go ahead, put a target on my forehead 
You can fire, but you got no bullets 
I was yours; I’m not yours anymore 
Oh, you don’t own me
