free

and do you still touch her like you do

kiss her all over in the way i kissed with you

or when you sleep with her do you sometimes think of me

not if you love her the way that i see

i had to be free

had to be free

it's all that i wanted

i wanted to see

wanted to be

alone if i needed

i had to be free

had to be free

from feelings that haunted

i wanted to see

wanted to be

free

and then in the evening light when the bars of freedom fall

i watch the two of you in the shadows on the wall

and when the darkness steals some of the choices from my hand

then i begin to understand

i had to be free

had to be free

it's all that i wanted

i wanted to see

wanted to be

alone if i needed

i had to be free

had to be free

from feelings that haunted

i wanted to see

wanted to be

free

i had to be free

had to be free

it's all that i wanted

i wanted to see

wanted to be

alone if i needed

i had to be free

had to be free

from feelings that haunted

i wanted to see

wanted to be

free
