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 is 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
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 is 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
But 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 is 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
