To be free means to be alone
Just like the wind, aimless
To be free, that's what I wanted
Why did I value that so much?
"Listen," I said
"I feel like I'm trapped"
I didn't realize
What I'd lose by saying that word
The glamour of the big city attracted me
Girls and dancing, music, the spectacle
An escapade, just for once
How useless that turned out to be
Today I know: To be free means to be alone
What did I give up in exchange?
To be free, that's what I wanted
Now I'm done in and feel empty inside
I'm sitting at home, staring at the walls for hours
I look at your picture and wonder
"Why did I abandon this?
What else did I want?"
Today I know: To be free means to be alone
Just like the wind, aimless
To be free, that's what I wanted
Once that meant so much to me
Can we go back to the way we were?
Will she ever be able to forgive me?
That's how my day ends
And how it begins again
To be free means to be alone
And this freedom isn't worth a damn
It's like a game
You're bound to lose
