You Say You're Free

You say you're free

Well, your freedom's killing me

And I feel just like a statue

To be admired from a distance

My love collides with your resistance

Then bounces back inside of me

You tell me that you're strong

Well, your strength just shatters me

As I scramble for my pieces

But the puzzle keeps repeating

It seems so self-defeating

How we plan each move so carefully

And still we both hang on

We risk the night and greet the dawn

An affair for you, for me a song

And then suddenly it's over

Two cynics passing through

I blew it, I fell in love with you

The thing I swore I'd never do

And now my love just turns you colder

You say you're trying to find yourself

Well, I know how hard that is

And I wish that I could help you

To share while life keeps teaching

To share while you keep reaching

But you prefer to reach out privately

And still we both hang on

We risk a night and greet the dawn

An affair for you, for me a song

And then suddenly it's over

Two cynics passing through

I blew it, I fell in love with you

The thing I swore I'd never do

And now my love just turns you colder

You say you're free

Your freedom's killing me

I feel just like a statue

To be admired from a distance

My love collides with your resistance

Then bounces back inside of me

The pattern goes on endlessly
