C
I can be strong when I want to be,
 Em                                D
You think I'm weak 'cause you can tear me apart
         C                   G D
with the words that you speak
           C
You think you're in control
                             Em
But you don't understand how much you're wrong
      C
You choose to lash out at me,
I've done nothing wrong
         Em                     D
All you crave is attention and just to belong
     D
You need to belong

Chorus:
                  G
And I want to be free
                           Em
When my heart is made from gold
                           C
And forgiveness seems too bold
                     D
As to find it in my heart
                G
To say "I love you"
                           Em
When my heart is made from gold
                          C
And the hunt is just too bold
                     D
As to find it in my heart
                G
To say "I love you"

Is there not enough to use your love for me
To get past the things that cause you envy and hate
And the fights that they bring
You say you're looked on as small
Can’t understand why you don’t have it all
But you don’t know how
I fight for you and believe in your aims
I just want to do right by you,
forget what has changed
‘Cause nothing is changed

Chorus

                 C
For you have to be so mean
You're such a drama queen
The way you play on every weakness
that you see in me
         G                     D
To make you strong, knew all along
             C
So don't pretend like you can hardly breathe
Like it's down to me
'Cause it's so unfair that you
                       G
can't see that you're so wrong
                D
We're still so young

Chorus:
And I want to be free
When my heart is made from gold
And forgiveness seems too bold
I still find it in my heart
To say "I love you"
When my heart is made from gold
And the hurt is just too bold
As to find it in my heart
To say "I love you"
