Let Me Be Free Lyrics

tick-tock, i saw the clock
but you felt so good that i couldn't stop
and all along i thought it was wrong
'til you sang a new song and you came along
with those eyes you could hypnotize
i reached for you but was paralyzed
i thought i sank down deep enough
but i couldn't quite love you off the cuff
so i thought i'd stop to talk the talk or
walk the walk to find a way to stick around
all a sudden you had your grasp
i lost my breath and hit the ground
pound round for round, i tried to stand
felt your breath and touched your hand
man, i reminisce the kiss i miss
don't know if i can handle this

let me be free
it used to be i'd walk a mile
to taste your laugh and see you smile
now all that's left is circumstance
with cheap perfume and cheap romance
still i knew that i would feel
all wrapped up tight in your little pill
chewed up, spat out, walked upon
tried to drink the cup but your grace was gone

ten past ten i tried again
to unlock the door and let you in
when like a draft you crept within
blew up, blown up, like the wind chill
factor, faster than i could
if i knew you weren't gonna love me then i
never would have gone inside your heart
where lies abide, and tried to stay alive
let me be free

woke up at the break of dawn
you locked me in and you were gone
woke up at the break of dawn
i should've seen it coming, all along

let me be free
