We kept pretending that what we had was good

Until we finally accepted, what we already knew

I can’t follow you cause you won’t follow me

 

I keep thinking something has to be wrong with me and you

How can I love you and feel the urgent need to leave this place?

Will your face haunt my every dream and will my heart break

If I leave and give up on you and me, will I be ok

 

Will I hear your voice call my name when you’re not here

The ghost of a love we left behind because you and me

We were meant to be free…

 

Why do you smile, like I’m your everything?

Don’t you know by now

All I ever wanted… was to be… free

I just want to be…free

 

I see, you all over this little town

When you pass on the street, I’m always looking down

I know I’ve hurt you, and you know you’ve hurt me too

Why can’t we ever be… just free

 

Tell me why we can’t be and how we were too blind to see

I don’t own you, and you don’t own me

We fought and argued over anything

“You looked at her, Well you were flirting with him”

Neither of us was right, but we were never wrong

Both of us were caught up in a constant Hell of our own

The stories we told full of little lies, trying to cover all the pain inside

 

Why do you smile, like I’m your everything?

Don’t you know by now

All I ever wanted was… to be… free

I just want to be…free

 

Now we’ve…. moved on… with our lonely lives

Struggling just to wake to another morning light

Face the day, trying hard to ignore the emptiness inside

 

We fought so long, wondering how we would make it on our own

The need to be, somewhere that wasn’t you, a place that wasn’t me

I walk down crowded streets, but I still see you in everything

 

If this is what it means to be set free, it’s not for me at all!

By the look, in your face as you pass my way I can feel now

Why you smiled at me like I was your… everything

 

I had to be free, and you let me go

I think you knew in your heart that I would come running home!

With you, is where I want to be…you’re holding me, and now I can see!

I am as free with you, as you are with me …

Now I don’t want to be free

Your love has already done that… for me…
