This song and the role of Jerusha were originated by Megan McGinnis.
I have torn you from my heart I have stripped myself of any pointless expectation that you will ever change your ways I have torn you from my life I have washed my hands of ever hoping you will be there when I most need a friend but you'll never be there daddy on that I can depend (charity) I have torn you from my soul you have hurt me for the last time (charity) and I won't go on believing you'll never hear another plea (charity) yes you have your freedom but you don't have me (who is helping whom) I too am free (who is helping whom) I too am free (just who is helping whom)
