This Moment

I've been afraid
Afraid of living
Afraid of dying
I've been afraid
Felt so alone
Alone and empty
Cried so many times
Now I want it to stop
Want it to stop

From this moment on
I wouldn't let you control my life
Wouldn't give into your wishes
You are not the ones to decide
Who I'm gonna be
Who I'm going to see tonight

Escaped again and again
Out the backyard window
Over the fence
And into the blue
Felt like I was free
Out in the open
Ran into the woods
But you was there to hunt me
There to hunt me

From this moment on
I wouldn't let you control my life
Wouldn't give into your wishes
You are not the ones to decide
Who I'm gonna be
Who I'm going to see tonight

Now my last day has come
I wouldn't be here tomorrow
I'm gonna leave for good
Wouldn't come back anymore
You always made me sad
But now I'm reaching for anger
Can't be who I want to
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye

From this moment on
I wouldn't let you control my life
Wouldn't give into your wishes
You are not the ones to decide
Who I'm gonna be
Who I'm going to see tonight

Go set me free
Release the beast in me

From this moment on
I wouldn't let you control my life
Wouldn't give into your wishes
You are not the ones to decide
Who I'm gonna be
Who I'm going to see tonight
