Breaking the Frame

Falling from heaven, the me I constructed

From glitter and paper Mache

Don’t mean to sound bitter, and I’m not a quitter

But it’s just not who I am today

The color and sparkle, ended in debacle

The chasing around having fun

Was good while it lasted, but now it has past and

I’ll pass it on now that I’m done

I’m breaking the frame, I’m walking away

I’m gonna go look for what else I need

I’m jumping the track, I’m not looking back

Don’t tell me who I’m supposed to be

I gotta be free

Coming round full circle, back to where I started

Only I’m a bit wiser this time

Not changing direction or reaching perfection

But I’ll certainly take what is mine

The games and the pretense never made any sense

But I fit myself to the mold

I met expectations, greeted celebrations

Now I’m tired of doing what I’m told

I’m breaking the frame, I’m walking away

I’m gonna go look for what else I need

I’m jumping the track, I’m not looking back

Don’t tell me who I’m supposed to be

I gotta be free

Don’t wanna be a jerk yet, I’m not picture perfect

So quit trying to make me be

Just so there’s no confusion, my image was illusion

It never was reality

So I’m breaking the frame, I’m walking away

I’m gonna go look for what else I need

I’m jumping the track, I’m not looking back

Don’t tell me who I’m supposed to be

I gotta be free
