In the city of the broken, our angels don't play for you
I strum, I strum my guitar and, I sing the blues
But what I got, I found, it don't belong to you
Let me get, get up on your shoulders, I like it up here on top

I got 'long well on my own but I think I want my baby too
But I ain't crawling back soon
So I rise, rise up and sing my song to you
'Cause my daddy knows his baby don't follow no rules

Yes, I'm free
Yes, I'm free
'Cause I belong to me but I might belong with you
I-I-I'm free
Yes, I'm free
'Cause I belong to me but I might belong with you

I don't know what they told you but they don't say my name too loud
I'm proud that I did it all alone, now my name's on your mouth
Yeah, I been hurt and worse but I can learn from it
Now I can earn something
Ready, set, let's get it into motion
Let's show 'em what we can do

I bet, if I had to do it on my own, well, what's hell times two?
That's my baby, oh oh, and he ain't here to save me
He's just here to move, watch me move
So I rise, rise up and sing my song to you
'Cause my daddy knows his baby don't follow no rules

Yes, I'm free
Yes, I'm free
'Cause I belong to me but I might belong with you
I-I-I'm free
Yes, I'm free
'Cause I belong to me but I might belong with you
