"Set Us Free" (A Happy Breakup Song) [Verse 1] We were fire, we were light, Burning bright through the night. But the stars fade, and that’s okay, Some things aren’t meant to stay. [Pre-Chorus] No regrets, no bitter end, Just two hearts learning when To let go and not hold tight, Love can change, and that's all right. [Chorus] So we’re walking away with a smile, No tears, no pain, just love for a while. We were good, but now we see, The best thing for you and me Is to set us free, yeah, set us free. [Verse 2] You’ve got dreams, I’ve got mine, Different roads, different signs. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t real, Love like ours, you always feel. [Pre-Chorus] No regrets, no bitter end, Just two hearts learning when To let go and not hold tight, Love can change, and that's all right. [Chorus] So we’re walking away with a smile, No tears, no pain, just love for a while. We were good, but now we see, The best thing for you and me Is to set us free, yeah, set us free. [Bridge] Maybe someday, down the line, We’ll laugh about this over wine. But right now, we’re saying goodbye, With nothing but love in our eyes. [Chorus] So we’re walking away with a smile, No tears, no pain, just love for a while. We were good, but now we see, The best thing for you and me Is to set us free, yeah, set us free. [Outro] No heartache, no regret, Just a love we won’t forget. We were good, we had our time, Now we shine in different lights.

[gentle] You did what you had to do Left me for someone new I never knew that we were through Left my world askew Built me up just to watch me break Pretty little lies on a silver plate Dress up my hurt in silk and lace Was I just a pawn you couldn't wait to forsake? Now we're living wooorlds apart, Yet I'm still tethered to your heart Why did you let this love Slip awayyyy, tear us apart?

[Verse] Twinkle giggle in the sky High above the clouds so high Wiggle wobble have some fun Counting stars one by one [Verse 2] In the forest where fairies play Little gnomes hide all day Laughter echoes through the trees With the buzzing bumblebees [Chorus] Hop and skip jump and twirl Round and round let's give a whirl Clap your hands stomp your feet Dancing to a happy beat [Verse 3] On the beach where waves come in Sandcastles where we begin Crabs and starfish all around Treasures hiding in the ground [Verse 4] In the park where swings are high Fly like birds let's touch the sky Slide and run all through the green In a world where kids are keen [Chorus] Hop and skip jump and twirl Round and round let's give a whirl Clap your hands stomp your feet Dancing to a happy beat

[Verse] Crashed into neon light City streets are burning bright Chasing shadows riding highs Electric dreams in the sky [Verse 2] Stars were born to guide the night Flashing signs in rapid flight Wanna dance take my hand Spin around this concrete land [Chorus] Take me higher lose control Feel the rhythm in your soul We're alive in every beat In this electric dream we meet [Verse 3] Whispers of a distant sound Footsteps echo all around Got the fire in our veins Run through digital remains [Chorus] Take me higher lose control Feel the rhythm in your soul We're alive in every beat In this electric dream we meet [Bridge] Lights go out but we still shine In the dark we're so divine No more rules let’s break away In the night we'll find our way
