Forced to Set You Free

I must set you free,
I cannot keep you with me,
Oh love, please understand,

This is not easy for me,
I'm burning in flames,
I'm drowning in pain,

If I keep you beside me,
I will only hurt you,
You will only end up hating me,

But then again here I am,
Saying goodbye,
And your staring at me with so much hatred,

My life doesn't belong to me,
My wants do not matter,
My thoughts do not count,

I belong to them,
They say how I live,
They decide what I can and cannot keep,

I'll be gone soon,
They are shipping me out,
Far, far over seas,

To a land I've never been before,
Where the only thing to console me will be,
Your sweet memory.
