Emilíana Torrini - 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

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

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?

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?
