Lyrics

You wanna know what you mean to me
I know you're not who you seem to be
You're the epitome of mediocrity
And I can't stand to watch it
As you go on
Telling your lies
Oh-oh-oh
Maybe it's only a game to you
Maybe it's only the same to you
I don't know what to do
I'm not in love with you
And I don't wanna spend my life in chains
As long as I'm still standing up
As long as I still breathe
I'm gonna stay free
I'm gonna stay free
I wanna meet you eye to eye
To set things straight and to clarify
I am the opposite of your twisted mind
And I just want to stay free
And be on my own
Without your lies
Oh-oh-oh
Maybe it's only a game to you
Maybe it's only the same to you
I don't know what to do
I'm not in love with you
And I don't wanna spend my life in chains
As long as I'm still standing up
As long as I still breathe
I'm gonna stay free
I'm gonna stay free
I'm gonna stay free
