I was young, you were so exciting
I rushed to you, no waiting, waiting
I couldn’t see underneath your smile
Til it was far too late, too late
Had to run away while I still had the strength
I don’t regret that I made my escape
I’ve won a better life, not ashamed to come home
Sometimes I still miss you when I’m alone
I wasn’t free to find my path
You had to be my owner, owner
Had no option but surrendering
Follow your orders like a soldier, soldier
Had to run away…..
Now my life is a blank canvas
There are so many choices, choices
On the pillow where I rest my head
Listening to familiar voices, voices
