I couldn't breathe with your hands on my neck
Now I've got too much air
I swept potential right under the deck
Again
I couldn't move with your body attached onto mine
Now I've got too much space
I wanted to bend, I only break, oh

I let go of something that I had thought made me slower
Now all I have become is a loner
I just wait for the day when I know you again, then

I'll be free
I'll be free
I'll be free
I'll be free

Ask and receive, it was nothing to me
Now it's nothing to you and I'm running on fumes
We were nineteen when the leaves turned to green
Now they're covered in snow, it's too cold to go home
I'm alone, I'm afraid
I was wrong by the way
And when the memories fade
I'll live with my mistakes

I let go of something that I had thought made me slower
Now all I have become is a loner
I just wait for the day when I know you again, then

I'll be free
I'll be free
I'll be free
I'll be free
