I'll Set You Free
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hear you through the wire
The words all sound like noise
What happened to the fire in your voice
Don't try to hide the distance
It's just too big to ignore
We work it out like business
It won't work anymore.
I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free (I'll set you free)
(I'll) set you free.
Still sometimes late at night
Moonlight comes into my window
I can make believe it's how it used to be
We made it look so easy
We never tried to resist
Somehow you stopped believing
Somehow we've come to this.
I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well
It was never meant to be
So I'll set you free (I'll set you free)
(I'll) set you free.
So now I must go on
What more can I do
What good is being strong
When all I ever really want is you.
I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well
It was never meant to be
So I'll set you free (I'll set you free)
(I'll) set you free.
I remember eyes that shined (I remember)
As they looked so hard back into mine (all I want is you)
All I want is you
(I remember) I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well (all I want is you)
It's you want that I want
It's you want but I won't tell, oh
I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine (all I want is you).
