Emiliana Torrini To Be Free Lyrics

To Be Free Lyrics

Once in a house on a hill
A boy got angry
He broke into my heart
For a
day and a night
I stayed beside him
Until I had no hope

So I came
down the hill
Of course I was hurt
But then I started to
think

Chorus:
It shouldn't hurt me to be free
It's what I really
need
To pull myself together
But if it's so good being free
Would you
mind telling me
Why I don't know what to do with myself

There's a bar
by the dock
Where I found myself
Drinking with this man
He offered me a
cigarette
And I accepted
'Cause it's been a very long time

As it
burned 'till the end
I thought of the boy
No one could ever
forget

Chorus

To pull myself together
But if it's so good
being free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don't know what to do with
myself

To pull myself together
But if it's so good being
free
Would you mind telling me
Why I don't know what to do with myself
