I'm breaking free, watch me go Nothing to hold me back anymore Tied myself up, from my head down to the floor Tried to keep myself together, but what for When the smoke clears, my eyes stop burning And I take the time to learn what I'm learning Some days, for sure, I miss you so much Hard to believe I made it through yesterday Like waves on the shore, sorrow comes and it goes But it doesn't get easier When the smoke clears, my eyes stop burning And I take the time to learn what I'm learning Seasons come to change, dark skies turn to light It takes a while to know everything's gonna be alright When the smoke clears, my eyes stop burning I take the time to learn what I'm learning And the road I'm on, I know, keeps on turning
