The singer feels trapped and misled in a relationship, unable to see clearly due to the other person's lies and manipulation. He wants to break free from the control of his partner and face the truth alone, no longer blinded by false colors or disguises. He pleads to be let go so he can find independence and deal with his fears without the other person's influence over him.

1. Secondhand serenade - pretend
it seems all of these words couldn't be further from
the truth
how did i get here? what did i do?
your eyes, telling me lies
and making me find myself
while you have your agenda, a life to pursue
so please,
let me be free from you.
and please, let me be free
i can face the truth.
i'm blind to all of your colors
that used to be rainbow then
my eyes, where did they go to?
why disappear?
it's hard to be all alone
i never got through your disguise
i guess i'll just go, and face all my fear
so please,
let me be free from you
and please, let me be free
i can face the truth.
put down your world
just for one night
pick me again
so please,
let me be free from you
and please, let me be free
i can face the truth
