Thumb break my back lyrics

they wanted to break my back, wanted to hold me back from beeing free. 

 they had a part for me in society, but that wasn´t me. 

 they gave me an early start, when they broke my heart i needed to see. 

 that if i wanted to be myself i couldn´t be myself without me! 

  

 so here i am! 

 i stepped out! 

 to be free! 

  

 'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall. 

 i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still say all i want. 

 "now that i´m free!" 

  

 i needed to learn the truth, i had to find my own destiny. 

 ev´rybody would pass me by, i couldn´t pacify the urge in me! 

 cause i was given wings to fly, that i was meant to try can´t you see. 

 that if i wanted to be myself i couldn´t be myself without me! 

  

 so here i am! 

 i stepped out! 

 to be free! 

  

 'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall. 

 i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still stay in control. 

 now that i´m free! 

  

 you didn´t think that i would try... 

 you never knew what´s on my mind... 

 you didn´t think i´d really try to be more than this!? 

 i had to live in agony... 

 i knew you´re looking down on me... 

 but i always knew that i would be so much more than this! 

  

 'cause with all that´s left inside of me, with my back against the wall. 

 i can still decide what´s best for me, i can still say all i want! 

 "now that i´m free
