Tossin' and turnin'
I got the words in my mouth
But every time I try, you shut me out
Your love is a burden
Because I can't let you down
But even when I dry your tears, I'm still drownin'
I can't see when I want to see
And I can't breathe when I want to breathe
Oh, it's taking over me
This is anything but
Freedom
It ain't free anymore
'Cause as soon as I walk out that door, you're crying
In silence
I said freedom
Isn't free if I can't go
But you won't leave me on my own
And I'm gettin' violent (ooh)
In silence, oh (ooh)
(Breathe)
(Oh, no)
(Oh, no)
(Oh, no)
(Ooh) So let me know where your heart's at
Because it's yet to be seen (ooh)
That you really want what's best for me (ooh)
Oh, I gave what my heart had (ooh)
I only wanted to be (ooh)
Something of your wildest dreams, oh
Ooh, I can't see when I want to see
I can't breathe when I want to breathe
You just sit and watch me bleed
This is anything but
Freedom (da-da-da-da-dah)
It ain't free anymore (ooh)
'Cause as soon as I walk out that door you're crying
In silence
I said freedom
Isn't free if I can't go
But you won't leave me on my own
And I'm gettin' violent
In silence, oh
Oh ooh (in the background, wishing you could see me)
Oh ooh (tell me why you gotta hurt me, need me)
Oh
Oh ooh (tell me what I gotta do, just free me)
Oh ooh (just free me)
Ooh ooh (just free me)
Oh ooh (in the background, wishing you could see me)
Oh ooh (tell me why you gotta hurt me, need me)
Oh
Oh ooh (tell me what I gotta do, just free me)
Oh ooh (just free me)
Ooh ooh (just free me)
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I been tryin', tryin' baby
But I can't never get it through
And I don't know what to say
'Cause you push
And I pull
But I can't get away
I said freedom
Isn't free anymore
'Cause as soon as I walk out that door, you're crying (I walk out that door, you're)
I said freedom
Isn't free if I can't go
But you won't leave me on my own
And I'm getting violent
In silence, oh
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
When I left you in the summer (bum)
I told your mother, told your father (bum)
That I'd never love another (bum)
But I think I love another (bum)
It's crazy (bum, bum)
And I've been thinking about forever (bum, bum)
And all the inundating pressure that it puts up on the people (bum)
Never make 'em better (bum)
Surely never makes 'em equal (bum, bum)
Life is crazy, life is good (bum, bum)
Life's amazing in ways it should (bum)
Mercy, mercy me, I say (bum, bum)
"Won't you take the pain away?" 'Cause (ooh, bum, bum)
One more hit (bum, one more hit)
Will get me closer to the countdown (bum, bum)
The countdown (the countdown, bum, bum)
One more sip (one more sip, bum, bum)
I'm so much better once I've calmed down (bum, bum)
I've calmed down (bum, calmed down, bum)
Nothing even matters anymore (matters anymore, nothing matters)
I can barely feel the pitter-patter of the rain (pitter-patter)
Nothing even matters anymore (nothing matters anymore)
You're the only chosen matter anyway
One more hit
Gets me closer to the countdown
Countdown
One more sip
I'm so much better once I've calmed down
Calmed down
(Oh)
(Oh)
