I keep walking down the same city streets

The same city lines, to the same lonely beat

People say hello but I don't know what to say

I don't know how I feel, I just can't act that way

I wanna hide form all these strangers

I wanna run home to you

All I need is your compassion

Then we can be free, yes

I wanna be free, yes

I wanna be free

I wanna be free

Oh the way I'm shut out by your silence

It's the loudest thing I've ever known

You leave me, leave me hanging

'til I feel useless with my hope

Oh it's lonely in the city

It can be lonely next to you

Just have the courage to open up to yourself

Then we can be free, yes

I wanna be free

I wanna be free

I wanna be free
