New song, pretty fresh (only a couple hours old). Will be accompanied with piano.

[V1]
Don’t you hold on to me, it’s better if you set me free.
I know this must be hard to do, I just can’t help but see this through.
I thought you knew I can’t be caged, just like the words found on this page.
Don’t tell me this is a surprise, cause I see tears flowing from your eyes.

[CHORUS]
Maybe you’ll miss me, but an eagle was never meant to be caged.
Maybe this will break me, but this war was never meant to be waged.
This just might hurt you, but it’s time now that you learned the truth.
It’s been okay till now, but I guess this is our final bow.

[V2]
I told you from the start, that you would never have my heart.
But now you’re here in front of me, and all you want is for me to believe
In what we had before this storm. Your touch, your skin, it feels so warm.
But now I turn my head to the cold, I thought you realized I’m fool’s gold.

[CHORUS]
Maybe you’ll miss me, but an eagle was never meant to be caged.
Maybe this will break me, but this war was never meant to be waged.
This just might hurt you, but it’s time now that you learned the truth.
It’s been okay till now, but I guess this is our final bow.

[BRIDGE]
This may be cruel, but you’re the fool who put his trust in a loose cannon.
Told you from the start, that we’d grow apart, and now outside my door you’re standin’.
And I wish I had an explanation for the way things had to end.
But all I know is burning bridges. It’s my freedom I’ve got to defend.
[CHORUS]
Maybe you’ll miss me, but an eagle was never meant to be caged.
Maybe this will break me, but this war was never meant to be waged.
This just might hurt you, but it’s time now that you learned the truth.
It’s been okay till now, but I guess this is our final bow.

So strike a pose, go catch your roses.
And take your final bow.
