Set Me Free

I spent too long
Hiding my truth
Wishing to be
Someone they'd approve
I prayed for change
But change was me
Now I can breathe
Now I believe

I used to cry
Alone in my bed
Wishing that God
Could fix my head
But I was never broken
I just had to see
Love isn't wrong
When it sets you free

They told me love was only real
If it fit their fantasy
Tried to teach me how to feel
With chains and shame on me
But I played their little game
Wore the mask, said the name
Tried to hide the flame
But fire can't be tamed

I kissed the dark
But now I run to light
No more hiding
No more fights
I'm done pretending
That I'm not enough
Now I dance for me
Now I live for love

Set me free
Let me fly tonight
In this crowd
Under neon lights
Hold my hand
Boy, don't be shy
Love like ours
Was born to rise

Set me free
Let the music speak
Feel my heart
When our bodies meet
This is me
No more disguise
Set me free
Set me free tonight

They said I had to lower my voice
Act like I was someone else
Told me to man up
To hide the choice
Of loving someone like myself
But look at me now
In glitter and pride
No shame, no fear
No need to hide

I wear what I want
I kiss who I please
I dance for my joy
I live to be me

No more praying
To be erased
I found heaven
In your embrace
This love is real
This love is mine
So turn it up
Let's cross the line

Set me free
Let me fly tonight
In this crowd
Under neon lights
Hold my hand
Boy, don't be shy
Love like ours
Was born to rise

Set me free
Let the music speak
Feel my heart
When our bodies meet
This is me
No more disguise
Set me free
Set me free tonight

Set me free (oh, oh)
From fear, from lies
From all the nights
I couldn't cry
Now I'm alive
And I'm on fire
Love is my truth
And my desire

Set me free (set me free)
Let me fly tonight
In this crowd
Under neon lights
Hold my hand
Boy, don't be shy (don't be shy)
Love like ours
Was born to rise

Set me free (set me free)
Let the music speak
Feel my heart
When our bodies meet
This is me
No more disguise (oh, oh)
Set me free
Set me free tonight

Set me free, set me free
Set me free, set me free
