To Be Free Lyrics - Love In The Time Of Science - Emiliana Torrini

Once in a house on a hill 

A boy got angry 

He broke into my heart 

For a day and a night 

I stayed beside him 

Until I had no hope 

So I came down the hill 

Of course I was hurt 

But then I started to think 

[Chorus] 

It shouldn't hurt me to be free 

It's what I really need 

To pull myself together 

But if it's so good being free 

Would you mind telling me 

Why I don't know what to do with myself 

There's a bar by the dock 

Where I found myself 

Drinking with this man 

He offered me a cigarette 

And I accepted 

'Cause it's been a very long time 

As it burned 'till the end 

I thought of the boy 

No one could ever forget 

[Chorus] 

To pull myself together 

But if it's so good being free 

Would you mind telling me 

Why I don't know what to do with myself 

To pull myself together 

But if it's so good being free 

Would you mind telling me 

Why I don't know what to do with myself
