You Say You're Free Lyrics - Dan Hill

You say you're free 

Well, your freedom's killing me 

And I feel just like a statue 

To be admired from a distance 

My love collides with your resistance 

Then bounces back inside of me 

You tell me that you're strong 

Well, your strength just shatters me 

As I scramble for my pieces 

But the puzzle keeps repeating 

It seems so self-defeating 

How we plan each move so carefully 

And still we both hang on 

We risk the night and greet the dawn 

An affair for you, for me a song 

And then suddenly it's over 

Two cynics passing through 

I blew it, I fell in love with you 

The thing I swore I'd never do 

And now my love just turns you colder 

You say you're trying to find yourself 

Well, I know how hard that is 

And I wish that I could help you 

To share while life keeps teaching 

To share while you keep reaching 

But you prefer to reach out privately 

And still we both hang on 

We risk a night and greet the dawn 

An affair for you, for me a song 

And then suddenly it's over 

Two cynics passing through 

I blew it, I fell in love with you 

The thing I swore I'd never do 

And now my love just turns you colder 

You say you're free 

Your freedom's killing me 

I feel just like a statue 

To be admired from a distance 

My love collides with your resistance 

Then bounces back inside of me 

The pattern goes on endlessly
