Freedom - Melissa Ferrick

sadness finds its way onto me yeah on any given day

and I just end up feeling guilty

and I don’t know how many times I’ve told you

I do not know how I ended up this way

it’s as if sometimes I have just halted

yeah I stop dead in my tacks

life it just seems to cover me and it’s in these moments that I feel trapped

so I claim freedom

yeah I claim my freedom

so what is it exactly that you want from me oh yeah you want me to stay

even though I am terrified

to let myself

end up this way

yeah I’m afraid of feeling

of feeling nothing at all

and I’m afraid of settling down

into a love

that ain’t love at all

so I claim my freedom

yeah I claim I claim freedom

so take this brain out and hang it on the line

take this chair out back and burn it

‘cause I can’t get any work done from in here

you know this hole I dug myself in has got me buried up to helpless

and I’d like to call you a liar

yeah but that’s what you

isn’t that what you always called me yeah I’d like to call you a liar

liar

yeah but that’s what you

that’s what you always called me so I claim freedom

yeah claim I claim freedom
