You say you wanna be free
But you don't know from what
She looked you straight in the eye
and said "you gave away love"
And now you're looking for an answer
to the questions you never knew
And in the back of your mind
You hope that love is still waiting for you.


But wake up
Cause you're not done
You could fix yourself up, kid
And you could learn how to love
Someone besides yourself for once...

You finish another bottle
in the backseat of her old car
and you're trying fight off sleep
trying to fight off the oncoming dark
cause when you go to sleep
You just dream of that little girl
staring at you from her front porch
her wide eyes are just like yours
then you awake the next day,
barely sober and looking for truth
just to realize you're still in the backseat
telling yourself this isn't like you.




Just wake up
You're not done
You could fix yourself up, kid
You could learn how to love.
