You can't have her there every minute of the day
And you can't hold her close when the light goes away
You can't touch her hair
Though you know that's the way it should be
You can't have her
When the girl wants to be free
It hurts so badly you just wanna sleep
You love her so completely
She's in your movement and when you breathe
You read the only letter you didn't rip up together
But the girl wants to be free
You think you're sleeping under the same star
But as far as she's concerned it's only her star
You can't hold her when she wants to be free
You can only love her
When the girl wants to be free
