Verse 1

If you love somebody, set them free, if they love you, they'd come back.

Well I'm setting you free now baby, believe me, I don't want to hijack

All the free time you have into

Hours that I spend talking to you.

Chorus

Baby I thought it meant as much to you as it means to me.

Clearly, I was wrong this time again, so now I'm setting you free.

I'm a big girl; I can deal with my own problems and stress.

I'm giving you all the free time you may need, I'm giving you space.

Go on now, do whatever you want, don't you worry about me.

I'm not gonna hold you back anymore, go, I'm setting you free.

Verse 2

It's the same old line in the same old chat, every day it's the same story.

You do something wrong without even realizing it, and then you say sorry.

And I'm so tired of forgiving when

I'm actually crumbling inside in pain.

Chorus

Baby I thought it meant as much to you as it means to me.

Clearly, I was wrong this time again, so now I'm setting you free.

I'm a big girl; I can deal with my own problems and stress.

I'm giving you all the free time you may need, I'm giving you space.

Go on now, do whatever you want, don't you worry about me.

I'm not gonna hold you back anymore, go, I'm setting you free.

Bridge

Just know that you're not the only one who's busy.

I gave up everything for you, it wasn't easy.

But now that you want your own time back,

I'm not just gonna sit here and watch it fade to black.

I'm gonna get back to my old single life and

Have fun with my girls; yeah I'm taking a stand.

Chorus

Baby I thought it meant as much to you as it means to me.

Clearly, I was wrong this time again, so now I'm setting you free.

I'm a big girl; I can deal with my own problems and stress.

I'm giving you all the free time you may need, I'm giving you space.

Go on now, do whatever you want, don't you worry about me.

I'm not gonna hold you back anymore, go, I'm setting you free.

I'm setting you free baby…
