Free

We were so good for one another

But that was long ago

You wanted me and I wanted you

But we change and grow

And when you told me it was over, that we could not go on

The dark of my despair gave way to breaking dawn

I thought I needed you to make me

I thought that leaving you would break me

My desperation made me take the only road

I thought I had, and suddenly I’m free

We said some things to one another

Some stuff we didn’t mean

And the future that’s before us

I could not have foreseen

So you said you didn’t mean it, and you want me to return

But now I’ve tasted freedom, and the power I have earned

I thought I needed you to make me

I thought that leaving you would break me

You were the one who sent me off to sea

And now this ship has sailed, and suddenly I’m

You could have had me but you let me go

Now I’ve seen beyond the status quo

The whole wide world is opening up to me

I thought I needed you to make me

I thought that leaving you would break me

I cried for hours when you told me it was over

But I’m done, and suddenly I’m

Free
