You say you're free
Well your freedom's killing me
And I feel just like a statue
To be admired from a distance
My love collides with your resistance
Then bounces back inside of me

You tell me that you're strong
Well your strength just shatters me
As I scramble for the pieces
The puzzle keeps repeating
It seems so self defeating
How we plan each move so carefully

Still we both hang on
We risk a night and greet the dawn
An affair for you, For me a song
Then suddenly it's over
Two cynics passing through
I blew it, I fell in love with you
The thing I swore I'd never do
And now my love just turns you colder

You say you're trying to find yourself
Well I know how hard that is
And I wish that I could help you
To share what life keeps teaching
To share while you keep reaching
But you prefer to reach out privately

Still we both hang on
We risk a night and greet the dawn
An affair for you, For me a song
Then suddenly it's over
Two cynics passing through
I blew it, I fell in love with you
The thing I swore I'd never do
And now my love just turns you colder

You say you're free
Well you freedom's killing me
And I feel just like a statue
To be admired from a distance
My love collides with your resistance
Then bounces back inside of me
The pattern goes on endlessly
