One Way Or Another

You thought I was sound asleep

But worries kept me wide awake

And thinking of a promise that I knew you would break

Leaving me lonely

What can I do

Knowing it's all because freedom calls

And makes you dream of something new

I watched you getting dressed

And wondering where you left your coat

I saw you sneaking around the room and writing that note

Telling me something

I should have known

Cause of this feeling I've had

The last few weeks whenever you were near

Your heart wasn't here

One way or another

You'll be back before long

Though you think you will not

Someday you'll discover

Life is not what you once

Might have thought it would be

And then in case you need a friend around

You know the place where I can be found

So like a bird uncaged

You only answered nature's call

But sooner or later freedom will be taking its toll

Leaving you lonely

What can you do

Other than turning around

I just can't wait to hear your knock on my door

Living alone is a bore
