I must break away
In the absence of your spirit
I refuse to become a statistic
Co-sadistic lover like you were
I will not be like all the others
Continuously hurt by all the things
I thought that you once were

Diminish my soul
I'm wiping my tears
Redden my heart
Oh God, release me
Bereaved and apart I suffered in vain
Relinquish your hold
A prisoner of pain
From all of this guilt
Wrongfully placed
I must break away

I watch now in amazement
Of all that's become
Of the light once shining bright
Now that's come undone
Rising from the ashes now
I must be strong
And retrieve the light that once encased my heart

Breaking your hold
Concealing my tears
Redden my heart
Oh God, release me

Bereaved and apart I suffered in vain
Relinquish your hold
A prisoner of pain
From all of this guilt
Wrongfully placed
I must break away

Bereaved and apart I suffered in vain
Relinquish your hold
A prisoner of pain
From all of this guilt
Wrongfully placed
I must break away

Breaking your hold
Concealing my tears
Redden my heart
Oh God, release me now

Bereaved and apart
Oh relinquish your hold, no
From all of this guilt
I can't take no more
Tell me that you'll let me be
Go away
Relinquish your hold
Set me free
Nothing you say
From all of this guilt
Will ever change my mind
We've run out of time
