So little did I know That there's no turning back once you've committed the crime Oh, how far I had to go Too bad I never saw the warning signs in her eyes Trying to escape, better yet disappear From the person staring at me in the mirror 'Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day And I tried relentlessly to keep her here But she wants the end for us both to be near Now it's either her or me Only one of us can stay So let this be my battle cry 'Cause I'm fighting for my life And I won't stop until I've made my way back to safe haven No need for an alibi When it's just me, myself, and I But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated, woah Let go, let go, loosen up your chokehold I can't breathe when you keep me in your grip Who would have known My very own shadow Would reach out its foot hoping that I trip Kick me when I'm already down Then just leave me there on the ground dying Alone, alone, 'til you want one more go And I brace myself to do it again Trying to escape, better yet disappear From the person staring at me in the mirror 'Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day And I tried relentlessly to keep her here But she wants the end for us both to be near Now it's either her or me Only one of us can stay So let this be my battle cry 'Cause I'm fighting for my life And I won't stop until I've made my way back to safe haven No need for an alibi When it's just me, myself, and I But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated, woah ♪ Rise up liberated
