I, I don’t own you
And you, you don’t own me
We’re free to choose
We choose to be
They ended slavery
But it still exists
In the world of love
Nothing sexy about the chains I’m speaking of
Seems it’s not enough
To share your beating heart
It’s gotta be torn apart
In a self-destructive art
Just to show them
You’re in love
We can walk this path
See where it leads
Become a little less invested in the destination please
We can share this bath
Wash each other clean
It don’t, no it doesn’t have to mean
That we need to last forever
So please remove that source of pressure
Seems it’s not enough
To share your beating heart
It’s gotta be torn apart
In a self-destructive art
Just to show them
You’re in love
And now our time is through
We’ve done all we can do
Engine stalling I’m falling
In and out of love with you
So let’s end it on a high
Graciously we kiss goodbye
We can fly this nest we built
Don’t wanna fall upon my sword all the way up to the hilt
Seems it’s not enough
To share your beating heart
It’s gotta be torn apart
In a self-destructive art
Just to show
Just to show
Just to show
You were in love
