Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You keep telling me
What you think it means to be free
Well, love, I've told you before
I'm not even gonna try anymore
I'm waitin' for the time to come
When you will see what you're trying to be free for
[Instrumental]
I'm not saying that you shouldn't wanna be somehow all alone
But if you think I'm holding you to anything you don't wanna do
I'm ready now to go out on my own
[Verse 2]
And I'll just keep telling you
That I'm not gonna tell you what you should do
No, love, it's not because I don't care
If I lose you here perhaps I'll find you there
It's just that I know you're like me
And one day when you're crying you will know that it's for trying to be free
[Instrumental]
Now I'm not saying that you shouldn't wanna be somehow all alone
But if you think I'm holding you to anything you don't wanna do
I'm ready now to go out on my own
[Verse 3]
And I'll just keep telling you
That I'm not gonna tell you what you should do
No, love, it's not because I don't care
If I lose you here perhaps I'll find you there
It's just that I know you're like me
And one day when you're crying you will know that it's for trying to be free
And one day when you're crying you will know that it's for trying to be free
And one day when you're crying you will know that it's for trying to be free
