Analysis of Finally Free
Jhana Bissonnette-Matthews 1991 (Hawaii)
It's been 20 years
With these tears
That you've caused
I've been choking
On the promises
That you'll never do it again
It's been 20 years
Since I've had this paralyzed fear
Of letting you go
I'm not mad
I'm not sad
But I am glad
That I'm finally free
