To be free lyrics

once in a house on a hill

a boy got angry

he broke into my heart

for a day and a night

i stayed beside him

until i had no hope

so i came down the hill

of course i was hurt

but then i started to think

it shouldn't hurt me to be free

it's what i really need

to pull myself together

but if it's so good being free

would you mind telling me

why i don't know what to do with myself

there's a bar by the dock

where i found myself

drinking with this man

he offered me a cigarette

and i accepted

'cause it's been a very long time

as it burned 'till the end

i thought of the boy

no one could ever forget

it shouldn't hurt me to be free

it's what i really need

to pull myself together

but if it's so good being free

would you mind telling me

why i don't know what to do with myself

to pull myself together

but if it's so good being free

would you mind telling me

why i don't know what to do with myself

to pull myself together

but if it's so good being free

would you mind telling me

why i don't know what to do with myself
