Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah, ooh
Ooh

So little did I know
That there's no turning back once you've committed the crime
Oh, how far I had to go
Too bad I never saw the warning signs in her eyes

Trying to escape, better yet disappear
From the person staring at me in the mirror
'Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day
And I tried relentlessly to keep her here
But she wants the end for us both to be near
Now it's either her or me
Only one of us can stay

So let this be my battle cry
'Cause I'm fighting for my life
And I won't stop until I've made my way back to safe haven
No need for an alibi
When it's just me, myself, and I
But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated
Oh-oh-oh

Let go, let go
Loosen up your choke hold
I can't breathe when you keep me in your grip
Who would have known
My very own shadow
Would reach out its foot hoping that I trip
Kick me when I'm already down
Then just leave me there on the ground dying
Alone, alone
Till you want one more go
And I brace myself to do it again

Trying to escape, better yet disappear
From the person staring at me in the mirror
'Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day
And I tried relentlessly to keep her here
But she wants the end for us both to be near
Now it's either her or me
Only one of us can stay

So let this be my battle cry
'Cause I'm fighting for my life
And I won't stop until I've made my way back to safe haven
No need for an alibi
When it's just me, myself, and I
But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated
Oh-oh-oh

Rise up liberated (ooh)
Rise up liberated (ooh)
Rise up liberated (ooh)

Whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh
