Today I cut the tie
That once bound me to you.
And do you know what?
I have never felt this free!
I am free to smile;
Free to laugh;
Free to get up and dance;
Free to be happy;
Free to love again.
I want to shout it out
Across the rooftops,
Have it echo all over the world.
I want everyone to know
That for the first time in forever
I cry tears of joy;
That for the first time
Since as far back as I can remember
I am not faking a smile for you...
