Cut Me Lose Lyrics

by Marjan Debaene

I'm ready now, ready to give up, I lived my life your way
It's not good enough, I don't want to live like that no more

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e95517-marjan_debaene~cut_me_lose_lyrics.html ]
I did what I was told to do, I wore these clothes just for you
But the only time that they felt good was when I didn't have them on

Cause you see, this is not me, it's how you want me to be
Can't you see, this is not me, it's just a person who looks like me

And I know you only wanted the best for me but... WHO says what's the best?
I couldn't fulfill your dreams, I couldn't live up to that test

So goodbye to all your dreams and goodbye to all your rules
It's time for me to live my own life, time to say goodbye

Cause you see, this is not me, it's how you want me to be
Can't you see, this is not me, it's just a person who looks like me
Cause you see, this is not me, it's how you want me to be
Can't you see, this is not me, it's just a person who looks like me

God knows how I tried to hide the pain inside
Blisters on my fingers from tearing away this second skin and
the ties around my wrists cut deep into my flesh,
cut me loose, cut me loose, cut me loose....

Oooh-oooh-oooh Oooh-ooh-ooh

Cause you see, this is not me, it's how you want me to be
Can't you see, this is not me, it's just a person who looks like me
