It used to be so wonderful
An endless reverie
I’d do anything to please you
There’s no one I wouldn’t be.
So gracefully amazing
I’d be anything but true
I thought I couldn’t ask for more
But I need much more than you.
Set me free from this dance
Set me free to take a chance
I need to know how it feels
To be me, to be real.
I have been a master of masquerade
Very proud and clever of the games I’ve played
I could pull the strings, always in control
But without heart, and without soul.
Set me free from this dance
Set me free to take a chance
I need to know how it feels
To be me, to be real.
I can make them lovers, I can write the rules
And they won’t discover how I’ve made them fools
But, as I’ve watched them, what I wouldn’t give
For the chance to long and yearn, and cry and burn,
And love and learn and live.
Set me free from this dance
Set me free to take a chance
I need to know how it feels
To belong, to be real.
