I killed a dream 
When I broke a promise to you 
I tore the seam 
That we had been holding on to 
I took a chance, my envy surged 
But I could not control the urge 
No, I never should have hurt you 
Now I'm waiting for the year 
That my sentence disappears 
I'm in a prison of regret 

Set me free, set me free 
I don't want to believe 
This is me, this me, it can't be 
Down with pride, down with hate 
I've watched my anger recede 
Look and see, you've changed me, set me free 

I lived and learned 
When I broke a promise to you 
I crashed and burned 
You'll never know the hell I've been through 
Serving beneath a higher power 
Ruling from a castle tower 
It was so hard for me to bear 
And now you have to understand 
That I have learned my lesson and 
Now I want to clear the air 

Set me free, set me free 
I don't want to believe 
This is me, this me, it can't be 
Down with pride, down with hate 
I've watched my anger recede 
Look and see, you've changed me, set me free 

No hard feelings 
Let's start reeling 
Time back to before 
You entrapped me 
Managed to catch me 
And do so much more 
I've controlled it 
I can hold it 
The nightmare inside 
No secrets here 
I'm crystal clear 
There's nothing left to hide 
So I implore you 
Look before to 
Who I was back then 
Think of me and 
Set me free 
To let this torture end

Set me free, set me free 
I don't want to believe 
This is me, this me, it can't be 
Down with pride, down with hate 
I've watched my anger recede 
Look and see, you've changed me, set me free
