I've Been Set Free

You have set me free
And yet you don’t even know it
That was all I was waiting for
And I myself didn’t even know it

I’ve done all that I could do
And still you say no way
That answer is what set me free
And I didn’t even know it

But now that I’ve thought it out
I realize what I didn’t
That all that I needed to be set free
Is to know that you knew me

That you knew me and my heart
And what I felt inside
Now I can let that all go
And finally move on in my life

I can enjoy the people around me
As they come and perhaps go
And not be bombarded with thoughts of you
Because I have let it all go

Who knew it would be that simple?
That all I needed was for you to know?
That just the fact that you knew
Would be enough for me to let go?

I am finally rid of you I think
I sincerely hope that I don’t sink
Over and over into that dark place again
Where thoughts of you bombard my head

No, I think you have set me free
And you don’t even know it
I hope all of this is true
But only more time will show it

I just want to thank you
But I know that I can’t
Because, after all
I’ve been set free

And you don’t even know it!
