I need to break free.
All these commitments I didn't sign up for
Can't leave people behind because they
Need
Me
frustrating
The best word to describe the feeling
Someone pulling you back as you try to break free
They don't notice the strain in your voice
The resentment in your eyes
Because they're too busy belting
"Need me, want me, love me
Stay with me"
And all the while you're thinking
What if I don't want that?
But that's not an option
Because they're pulling everything out of you
Just for you to stay around unwillingly.
Experiencing misery
Feeling lonely in a room full of company
All the while just wanting to
Break free.
