I have heard you cry
I have seen crocodile tears
All to make me feel loved
While you arm twisted, abused me for your good
I have become a villain to my own heart.

I cuddle you in my arms
Gave you my heart at no cost
I flew you to cloud nine
On it you flattered me with words
Words so sweet, anybody would lose their mind.

I look back to the good old days
I cradle in my own humility
As I ignored all that I saw and learned
Letting down those feelings that carry me
The God given gift of good instinct.

I have beat myself up
For those things I could have done better
And love is one of those
For better I would have done without you
Now I admonish in your aftermath.

I made promises
Promises I dare not count
Still you lied to me
So many lies I let pass
Because I believed love would set you free.

Freedom, yes freedom
It comes not only at a price
Pain is inscribed on its fore
The pain, I now take and endure
But I will chant, Love is free, love is free.
