[Verse] I got out alive but it was so close The memory I have is through a dirty window There's a river of mud and it used to be my home Oh I'm breathing on my own I can feel my heart and it feels like it's mine For once I can speak and the words come out right I'm not playing a part It's not like a play It don't feel like art It don't feel fake [Chorus] And I feel released Oh I'm not who I was when I was down on my knees Oh It's like the pain had a purpose Yeah I'm a different person And I feel released And I feel released And I feel released And I feel released [Verse 2] I was caught in a trap and I couldn't get out The people I loved they wouldn't listen to me shout I was left on the floor with the air knocked out of me I knew that I could be free And I didn't belong in a world like that Where nobody listens and everybody laughs And I'm not playing a part It don't feel like a play It don't feel like art It don't feel fake [Chorus] And I feel released Oh I'm not who I was when I was down on my knees Oh It's like the pain had a purpose Yeah I'm a different person And I feel released And I feel released And I feel released And I feel released [Bridge] Oh And I feel released Oh I'm not who I was when I was down on my knees Oh It's like the pain had a purpose Yeah I'm a different person And I feel released And I feel released And I feel released And I feel released
