lifeblood: songs: lyrics: free in you


a hard knock
a cold clock
ticking off my time
a long look
but no luck
couldn't seem to find
or unwind
into peace of mind
though I was trying

a quick glance
a big chance
my heart beat like a drum
i saw you
and i knew
chances just don't come
round again
not like this
first a laugh
then the kiss

and i'm free in you
i've got no worries on my mind
i know what to do
that's to treat you right
and love you kind
thank you ever on my mind
love is just like breathing
when it's true
and i'm free in you

the lost time
the self crime
my big mistakes
the clear voice
of bad choice
sounding like an ache
in my day
not too bad
but too real
to go away

but now i'm free in you
i got no worries on my mind
i know what to do
that's to treat you right
and love you kind
thank you ever on my mind
love is just like breathing
when it's true
and i'm free in you

and i don't know
how you show
such gentle disregard
for the ugly in me
that i see
that for so long
i took so hard
(i took so hard)
but i truly believe
(i truly believe)
that you see the best in me
(that you see the best in me)
i'm enough
for your love
(enough for your love)
and the thought
sets me free
(and i'm free)
free in you
got no worries on my mind
i know what to do
that's to treat you right
and love you kind
thank you ever on my mind
love is just like breathing
when it's true
and i'm free in you
yes i'm free
in you
