Lyrics

[00:13] Once in a house on a hill
[00:17] a boy got angry
[00:22] he broke into my heart.
[00:26] For a day and a night
[00:30] I stayed beside him
[00:35] until I had no hope.
[00:39] So I came down the hill
[00:44] of course I was hurt
[00:47] but then I started to think
[00:50] It shouldn't hurt me to be free
[00:53] it's what I really need
[00:56] to pull myself together.
[01:00] But if it's so good being free
[01:02] would you mind telling me
[01:05] why I don't know what to do with myself.
[01:23] There's a bar by the dock
[01:26] where I found myself
[01:32] drinking with this man.
[01:35] He offered me a cigarette
[01:39] and I accepted
[01:44] 'cause it's been a very long time.
[01:48] As it burned 'till the end
[01:54] I thought of the boy
[01:57] no one could ever forget.
[02:00] It shouldn't hurt me to be free
[02:02] it's what I really need
[02:05] to pull myself together.
[02:09] But if it's so good being free
[02:11] would you mind telling me
[02:14] why I don't know what to do with myself.
[02:23] To pull myself together.
[02:28] But if it's so good being free
[02:30] would you mind telling me
[02:33] why I don't know what to do with myself.
[02:42] To pull myself together.
[02:47] But if it's so good being free
[02:49] would you mind telling me
[02:52] why I don't know what to do with myself.
