Who Do You Belong To

YOU WORE THE RING, YOU WORE THE SMILE
KEPT THE BOOKS, DROVE THE MILES
TO SOCCER GAMES AND BACK TO SCHOOL
MET THE TEACHERS, MADE THE RULES
AND HE EXPECTED THIS
BUT THE WAY HE TOOK YOUR GIFTS…
HE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE THROWN THEM TO THE GROUND

WHO DO YOU BELONG TO NOW
WHO DO YOU BELONG TO NOW?
NOT HIM OR ANYONE LIKE HIM
AFTER ALL THAT YOU’VE BEEN THROUGH
YOU BELONG TO YOU
YOU BELONG TO YOU

YOU TOOK THE WHEEL HE WOULD NOT STEER
CUT THE PATH AND KEPT IT CLEAR
YOU DID THE WORK, YOU GOT THE SCARS
BUT HIS SILENCE BROKE YOUR HEART
SO YOU ASKED HIM FOR THE KEY
TO FINALLY SET YOU FREE
BUT HE FOUND SO MANY WAYS TO KEEP YOU DOWN

SO WHO DO YOU BELONG TO NOW
WHO DO YOU BELONG TO NOW?
NOT HIM OR ANYONE LIKE HIM
YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS NEW
YOU BELONG TO YOU
YOU BELONG TO YOU

PEOPLE GONNA TALK AND SAY YOU BROKE UP A HAPPY HOME
THEY DON’T KNOW FOR TWENTY YEARS HE KEPT YOU LIKE SOMEBODY THAT HE OWNED

WHEN YOU CUT THOSE TIES THAT BIND
AND YOU LEAVE YOUR VOWS BEHIND
IN THE MIRROR YOU WILL SPEAK YOUR TRUTH OUT LOUD
