IT WORKED FOR A WHILE, YOU PLAYED ME WELL
KNEW WHAT I WANTED, USED THE SOFT SELL
GOT ME HOOKED OR SO YOU THOUGHT
MOVED THE GOALPOSTS WHEN I WAS CAUGHT

 

YOU TRIED TO OWN ME, TRIED TO MAKE ME YOURS
TO MAKE ME DENY WHAT HAD GONE BEFORE
TO MAKE ME SAY NO ONE ELSE WOULD BE
AS GOOD FOR ME AS YOU COULD BE

 

YOU DIDN’T TRUST ME, WOULDN’T LET ME BE FREE
DIDN’T SEE WHAT YOU WERE DOING TO ME
ALWAYS THERE WHEREEVER I WENT
COULDN’T SEE MY LOVE WAS SPENT

 

I WANTED FREEDOM, I WANTED FRIENDS
YOU WANTED ME FOR YOUR OWN ENDS
YOU BECAME MY BALL AND CHAIN
MY SHACKLES AND A GODDAM PAIN
