You turned away from me
With the sun on your face
Looking out over the sea
Like you saw something there
As if that was a place that you wanted to be
(Chorus)
Free as a bird, or chained to the sky
It didn't matter to you somehow
Free as a bird, or chained to the sky
It didn't matter to you anyhow
But you sang...
It didn't matter to you somehow
Free as a bird or chained to the sky
It didn't matter to you somehow
I feel so left alone
I just don't know what to think about you
Part of me loves you like I always did love you
And that part knows you loved me too
You gave me lots of reasons to doubt you
You grew up so furiously fast
I guess you just wanted to become someone new
And God knows that's what I'm still trying to do
(Chorus)
Free as a bird, or chained to the sky
It didn't matter to you somehow
Free as a bird, or chained to the sky
It didn't matter to you anyhow
But you sang every song like something was terribly wrong
I never knew what was going on
Free as a bird, or chained to the sky
Free as a bird, or chained to the sky
Free as a bird, or chained to the sky
Free as a bird, or chained to the sky
