ReStrung - Free? Lyrics

I used to hate the kid I was, the one they made me be
Now that I'm grown, I still don't like what I see
I'm a boy inside a man, the one that's never free
A picture of a person I'd hoped I'd never be
I'm still searching
Still dreaming
Still broken
But free
So it turns out we were already free
We just didn't know it at the time
Back when fame was a given we never would see
Until it faded into dreams left behind
It faded the dreams left behind
I was the child deep in your mind
The one you kept locked inside
Put in my box, I was put in a bind
I used the tools I knew to survive
Yes, it's true, I'm older, don't like what I see
A boy inside a man, twisted mirror for me
Broken, bent and folded to what they need
I had to destroy my personality
I'm still broken
Still searching
Still hurting
But free
So it turns out we were already free
We just didn't know it at the time
Back when fame was a given we never would see
Until it burned all the dreams left behind
It faded the dreams left behind
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
So it turns out we were already free
We just didn't know it at the time
Back when fame was a given we never would see
Until it burned all the dreams left behind
It faded the dreams left behind
