Free Lyrics by Oh Wonder
New year of ’13
Sat on the roof of your one-bed apartment, stared at the city
Oh, London, you’re pretty
The way that you held me
Tight like I’d leave in a slip of the wind, it felt like the future
Thought I’d never lose ya
I was free, free
I was free
Forward to ’20
Both of us screaming alive at each other, “Get out of my house”
“I’m done with you now”
Said I never loved you
But I always loved you
And I’ll always love you
I was free, free
I was free
Free, free
I was free
I’m nervous to say it
Not one to sleep with a stack of regret, but I’m sorry we got here
I wish I’d done more to save us
Shoulda killed you with kindness
Swallowed your tears when your eyes opened wide, but I’m drawing in darkness
I wish I could stop it
And be free, free
I was free
Free, free
I was free
I wish I was (I wish I was), I wish I was, I wish I was free (I wish I was), mm
I wish I was, I wish I was, I wish I was free
Oh, the devil’s in
And I’m dying, yeah
Opposites attract
What the hell is that?
Oh, the devil’s in
