Letting Go For Dear Life

It's all my fault for thinking I could have you once and that's all it would take to fill me up
By now I've tasted everything, but somehow I still hate to see the bottom of my cup
And I've been running longer than an orphan or a battered woman takes to speak their mind
And it might be nice to lose a bit of sleep, but I won't as long as I keep playing into this pride

So now I'm letting go for dear life
It's just one night in stone
I'm giving up and going home one more time
I'm so tired of hiding
Sick of fighting

This sort of thing used to make me late to everything and lately nothing much has changed
Well, I'm still dirty, I still settle, I'm still worried now that it'll always be this way
And why would I meet you in the middle if I've already got a little something on the side?
And I've done everything but please you
Now I'm down on both my knees to look you in the eye

So now I'm letting go for dear life
It's just one night in stone
I'm giving up and going home one more time
I'm so tired of hiding
Sick of fighting

You don't own me
You don't know me
And I don't owe you anything
You don't know me
You don't own me
And I don't owe you anything
And it's so inconvenient, always keeping you a secret
And it's about time that I tell someone
And it might be more than I can pay
But all I know is I can't stay afraid that I won't find something better
You don't own me
You don't know me
And I don't owe you anything
You don't know me
You don't own me
And I don't owe you anything
And why would I meet you in the middle if I've already got a little something on the side?

So now I'm letting go for dear life
It's just one night of peace
I'm giving up and going home one more time
I'm so tired of hiding
Sick of fighting now

I'm giving up and going home one more time
I'm so tired of hiding
Sick of fighting now
