When I Was Free
 
Where have you gone within my mind?
To the wilderness that binds me;
Where have you gone again this time
To a world that won't invite me?
 
I'd marry you if you only loved me
Love me now like you once did
When my heart wasn't such a shell of an organ
When I was free.
 
Where have you gone without me
Where is the one I adored?
Gone are the words we shared beneath the stars
And their ever piercing stares;
 
I'm not the same girl you knew
When my mind wandered to simpler days
When I was naive
When I was free.
