And do you still touch her like you do
Kiss her all over in the way I kissed with you
And when you sleep with her, do you sometimes think of me
Not if you love her the way that I see

I had to be free, had to be free
It's all that I wanted
I wanted to see, wanted to be
Alone if I needed

I had to be free, had to be free
From feelings that haunted
I wanted to see, wanted to be free

And then in the evening light, when the bars of freedom fall
I watch the two of you in the shadows on the wall
How in the darkness steals some of the choices from my hand
Then will I begin to understand

I had to be free, had to be free
It's all that I wanted
I wanted to see, wanted to be
Alone if I needed

I had to be free, had to be free
From feelings that haunted
I wanted to see, wanted to be free
I had to be free, had to be free
It's all that I wanted
I wanted to see, wanted to be
Alone if I needed

I had to be free, had to be free
From feelings that haunted
I wanted to see, wanted to be free
