• I want you to be free,
    I wanted you to be free,
    But I don't want to have to watch you dance slow.

    I wanted you to be free,
    And then you broke free,
    And now I have to watch you dance so slow.

    I never should have wanted,
    Never really wanted...
    But why then, did I let you go?

    I never should have let you go,
    Because then you wouldn't have to dance so slow.

    I remember the first time we met.
    I thought you were just like them.
    So I stayed away, pushed you away;
    I was sure you were just like them.

    It took me a while, but then I finally saw
    That you were just as disenchanted as I was.
    Something so similar about our souls...
    Thought I could never break away from that feeling you brought.

    But I did, and you were gone.
    I slipped back into that old way of thinking
    And knew that you were just like them.
    That's why you dance so slow...
