The bad, the good, the in between

Has left us with no space to breathe

We both know that this is not where we're supposed to be

But if only I could set you free

There's no point playing make believe

Or chasing what we'll never see

I'd reach into my pocket and I'd hand over the key

But if only I could set you free

If only I could set

I'm setting you free

The thought of the end is frightening

But it's all I've been imagining

Ooh, I know that you're hurting

'cause I've had you in chains

Even the way you look at me has changed

So this is my apology

Let's end this love with honesty

There's no need for fighting

No "it's you", no "it's me"

I know it's time that I set you free

I know it's time that I set you free

I know it's time that I set

I'm setting you free

But let me hold onto the memories (free)

So a part of you remains with me

And I don't know I ain't right

So I won't keep you tied

Spread your wings and take flight

I'm setting you free

Free, yeah, I'm setting you free

Setting you free

I can't keep holding you back

So I know that it's time

I know its time that I set

I'm setting you free

Oh, free, free, free
