Free
Free
whispering behind your neck as you sleep
my heart I give to you for keeps
thoughts keep churning inside my head
am I really living or am I dead
captivated instantly by your spell
helplessly watching my love unveil
to a name, a memory, a picture on a screen
someone I met long ago in a dream
and how do I know that you even exist
you are always just a shadow in the mist
do you know I'm out here or that I care
I don't think you see me even though I am here
you're always just a step away or a mile or two
leaving me behind like you always do
love should never be this one sided anyway
perhaps you should set my heart free to fly away
like a bird she will disappear forever
and you will never have to see me again, not now, not ever
