Broken chains

Your not here because you overstepped the line
but now all i can think is my life is now mine
your not here to control me or to tell me what to do
but now iv no owner i haven't got a clue.

all the decisions you made for me i have to make myself
all the rights you took away "for the good of my own health"
you stripped me bare of my identity,what made me me
you made me your lap dog not for the world to see.

theres no life inside of me I'm used to obeying rules,
my eyes have no sparkle just a pair of deep dark pools,
you made my life an existence i wasn't living at all
had to ask permission for everything was made to feel so small.

what your reading so far may sound like animal cruelty
but that was my life what was called "a girlfriends duty"
but then everything changed things just got to much
couldn't keep it up flinching at his every touch.

the man i once loved i hated with a passion
couldn't stay with a man who didn't have no compassion
with the energy i had left i packed up my stuff
despite the way he treated me this was still tough

he started to stir in his sleep and i ran for my life
cant believe i agreed to be this monsters wife
didn't no where i was going but i ran and ran
the only thought in my head was to get away from this man

so here i am now in the safety of this house
gone is the old me who was as timid as a mouse
back is the old me who uses her own brains
trust me its worth it to break those restricting chains
