Written after my first marriage crumbled for some pretty terrible reasons.
How dare you.
With all the stories,
All the times you said
I could not.
Tell me the same lies,
That I did not need.
So the hell with your thoughts.

I want to play my guitar,
I want to sing my songs,
I want to be free of your lies,
I want to be free with my words.

How dare you,
When I needed you to hear,
When I laid my heart bare to you,
You said the edges were to rough,
That my sould sounded out of tune.
So I stopped playing.

I want to play my guitar,
I want to sing my songs,
I want to be free of your lies,
I want to be free with my words.

How dare you,
When you once lit fires in my soul,
Just to stamp it out with your words,
To turn me around and around,
The gas in the light well lit,
Suffocating my words,
Silencing my strings.

I want to play my guitar,
I want to sing my songs,
I want to be free of your lies,
I want to be free with my words.
How dare you,

Take my love to burn it down,
Then turn it around on me,
Twist my words,
Twist your own sour words till
it curdled every ounce of me.
So fuck you, I’m done letting you decide.
I want to play my guitar,
I want to sing my songs,
I want to be free of your lies,
I want to be free with my words.

I don’t even miss you,
You had my love and lost it,
You blamed me for leaving,
You blamed me for lying,
Still refusing to believe it,
I am nothing to you now.

I dared it, I dared the world to
Take me back,
So here I am.

I want to play my guitar,
I want to sing my songs,
I want to be free of your lies,
I want to be free with my words.
With every plucked string the last tear fell,

Never again will my words be stolen,
My guitar be silent by your lies.

I want to play my guitar,
I want to sing my songs,
I want to be free of your lies,
I want to be free with my words.
I want to play my guitar,
I want to sing my songs,
I want to be free of your lies,
I want to be free with my words.
