Lyrics
I'm my own man now
I have gained independence and autonomy.
And I shouldn't have been put inside a box
I shouldn't have been confined or restricted.
All the more reason
This reinforces the justification for leaving a place where I felt directionless.
To leave a place that I was just too lost
Leaving a location where I felt completely lost.
And you couldn't just accept that I'm not you
You couldn't acknowledge that I'm an individual separate from you.
I didn't make it work because I found no reason to
I didn't make the relationship work because I saw no compelling reason to.
It's been six whole years since I left you
It has been six years since I ended our association.
And I don't feel stuck in a test tube anymore
I no longer feel confined or limited.
Anymore
Reiteration of the absence of feeling trapped.
It's been six whole years since I walked out
Six years since I departed.
And at least four since I had doubt
At least four years without significant doubt.
It's been six whole years
It's been six whole years
-I didn't mind leaving
I didn't mind leaving, especially when it is from within my own space.
When the leaving's from within your four walls
Leaving is easier when it's from within my own environment.
I know you thought that I'm too far gone
You believed I was too far gone, having witnessed similar behavior for too long.
You'd seen it all before for far too long
You've observed my actions for an extended period.
It's been six whole years since I left you
Reiteration of six years since the separation.
And I don't feel stuck in a test tube anymore
Emphasizing the absence of feeling confined.
Anymore
Reiteration of no longer feeling trapped.
It's been six whole years since I walked out
Six years since I walked away.
And at least four since I had doubt
At least four years without significant doubt.
It's been six whole years
A century to become who I am
A metaphorical time span to evolve into my true self.
An extra four or more to be a man
Additional time to mature into adulthood.
My eyes have gotten quite blurry now
My vision has become unclear, making it harder to perceive things accurately.
So it gets harder to see out
The challenges increase as my vision deteriorates.
It's Been six whole years since I left you
Reiteration of the six years since the separation.
And I don't feel stuck in a test tube anymore
Emphasizing the absence of feeling confined.
Anymore
Reiteration of no longer feeling trapped.
It's been six whole years since I walked out
Six years since I walked away.
And at least four since I had doubt
At least four years without significant doubt.
It's been six whole years
It's been six whole years
-It's been six whole years
-It's been six whole years
-It's been six whole years
Reiteration of six years passing since the separation.
