[Intro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah-ah, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
So, little did I know
That there's no turning back once you've committed the crime
Oh, how far I had to go
Too bad I never saw the warning signs in her eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to escape, better yet disappear
From the person staring at me in the mirror
'Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day
And I tried relentlessly to keep her here
But she wants the end for us both to be near
Now it's either her or me, only one of us can stay

[Chorus]
So let this be my battle cry
'Cause I'm fighting for my life
And I won't stop until I've made my way back to safe haven
No need for an alibi
When it's just me, myself and I
But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated
Oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Let go, let go
Loosen up your chokehold
I can't breathe when you keep me in your grip
And who would have known my very own shadow
Would reach out its foot hoping that I trip
Kick me when I'm already down
Then just leave me there on the ground dying
Alone, alone
'Til you want one more go and I'll brace myself to do it again

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to escape, better yet disappear
From the person staring at me in the mirror
'Cause she looks more and more unknown to me every day
And I tried relentlessly to keep her here
But she wants the end for us both to be near
Now it's either her or me, only one of us can stay

[Chorus]
So let this be my battle cry
'Cause I'm fighting for my life
And I won't stop until I've made my way back to safe haven
No need for an alibi
When it's just me, myself and I
But this time I'm gonna rise up and find myself liberated
Oh-woah, oh-oh, oh
[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) rise up liberated
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) rise up liberated
(Ooh, ooh-ooh) rise up liberated
Oh-woah, oh-oh
