Set Free Lyrics

I guess there's only one place to go from here
I think the options are clear anyway
I’m sure you’re tired of waiting for me
To figure out where you fit in
I guess I’m afraid of what we could be
Cause I don't want to sell you short of your dreams
I’m sorry for making you wait for me
Cause I don't want to hold you down
But I don't want to set you free
I don't want to make you run from me

I guess it's hard to believe that I
Could make myself give up
After all this time you and me
Trying hard to make sense of our differences
Pretending we both had everything
I guess I believed in our fantasy
You only loved the one you wanted me to be
I’m sorry for breaking your faith in me
I don't want to hold you down

But what if you're more than I could please
Could you accept apologies?
I don't want to squander all your time
I don't want to mislead you
I think we both knew that it was done
Sorry I had to be the one
Sometimes I wish it were the other way around

I wish you weren't supposed to be Set free

I guess there's only one place to go from here 
I think the options are clear anyway 
I’m sure you’re tired of waiting for me 
To figure out where you fit in 
I guess I’m afraid of what we could be 
Cause I don't want to sell you short of your dreams 
I’m sorry for making you wait for me 
Cause I don't want to hold you down 
But I don't want to set you free 
I don't want to make you run from me

I guess it's hard to believe that I 
Could make myself give up 
After all this time you and me 
Trying hard to make sense of our differences 
Pretending we both had everything 
I guess I believed in our fantasy 
You only loved the one you wanted me to be 
I’m sorry for breaking your faith in me 
I don't want to hold you down

But what if you're more than I could please 
Could you accept apologies? 
I don't want to squander all your time 
I don't want to mislead you 
I think we both knew that it was done 
Sorry I had to be the one 
Sometimes I wish it were the other way around

I wish you weren't supposed to be Set free

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Amazing song. Always gets stuck in my head. It's about trying to decide whether or not you want to be with someone, when you know in your heart, it's already over. It's about having someone wait for you while you make up your mind. Breaking someone's heart.

i think it's about knowing that a relationship is over but staying in it "for the memories"... but finally realizing that you can't live for the past... you have to let go
