I want to be free. I want to be loved
It’s taken me back to where I was before
When I was just a fool in love
It’s taken a long time to figure it out
But there is something very wrong in this town
Am I the only one who knows?

Because something isn’t right
And I know we’ll never be together
You live in all that blindness
It carries you away forever

They say you can find me anywhere
But let me remind you that if I’m never there
That you would be the one to cry
I’m finally leaving and finally gone
"You’ve been so deceiving, I just couldn’t stay so long
Though you would be the one to try

Because something isn’t right
And I know we’ll never be together
And in our own sweet madness
We justify what could but wouldn’t be forever

Not everybody wants you to be heard
They hold you down and eat you up
And then spit you out again
How could anybody hold you in their arms?
Just long enough to take a look
And ride that empty highway to your heart

Because something isn’t right
And I know we’ll never be together
You live in all that blindness
It carries you away
Because something isn’t right
And I know we’ll never be together
And in our own sweet madness we justify
What could but wouldn’t be forever
