Freedom

freedom,

people talk about freedom
but people,

they don´t know what freedom means
people

they just want freedom
but they´ll walk away

from the things that make them free

oh it´s such a shame
but it´s always the same

remember when you said you loved her
remember when you said she’s the one
but the one got in the way of your freedom
now your freedom´s got you on the run

(chorus)
freedom´s just your way to be alone
it´s the sweetest sounding word

you´ve ever known
but your freedom will not hold you

when you´re on your own
your freedom

is the only love you´ve known

oh it´s such a shame
but it´s always the same

won´t you tell me

how you´re doin´
can you tell me

how your life has set you free
you´ve been wastin´ all your time runnin´
from the freedom

that could truly set you free

(chorus)
´cause freedom´s just your way to be alone
it´s the sweetest sounding word

you´ve ever known
but your freedom will not hold

you when you´re on your own
your freedom

is the only love you´ve known

no, your freedom will not hold you

when you’re all alone
´cause your freedom

is the only love you´ve known

oh it´s such a shame
but it´s always the same
