Just like before

I remember the way you looked at me
and the sympathetic smile you wore
the way that you're looking at me now
well it's feeling just like it did before
With trembling hands and a pounding heart
i reach out to touch you, draw you to me
but you're holding back, and now i know;
you came here to ask to be free
I've walked this path a thousand times
i seem to be so easily replaced
and though my heart's been bruised before
i can't stop the hurt from showing on my face
I can't believe you would do this
leave me to face the world on my own
well i'll let you have your goddamn freedom
and i'll live safe from harm - alone
