Free To Be You Free To Be Me

Free to be you 
(Free to be me)

If it's all the same, can we just say goodbye,
Before you see the sadness and tears in my eyes...

We tried and tried, we did our best, 
But were not able to pass the relationship test... 

Maybe we're too different or maybe we're just the same, 
Always searching for belonging and a way to prove our names... 

So you go your own way and I'll go mine... 
And maybe we'll meet up again when it's the right time... 

Chorus 
So you be free to be you and 
I'll be free to be me, darling... 
'Cos, baby we love each other and 
Only want what's best...

Time to fly free;
Fly free, fly free, 
Let's spread our wings,
And be all we're meant to be... 
(End Chorus)

And all through my life, I'll remember you, 
Whether we meet again or not, my heart will stay true... 

But if it's all the same, for now, can we just say goodbye, 
Before you know how much my heart is crying...

'Cos, I might love you until the stars shut down their shining, 
But I know that our separation is best for our alignment... 

So I'll go this way and you go that... 
And maybe we'll be blessed to have each other back... 

Chorus 

So you be free to be you and 
I'll be free to be me, darling... 
And maybe we'll meet again in another life,
And get another chance...
