Song Lyrics

You say you're free
Well, your freedom's killing me
And I feel just like a statue
To be admired from a distance
My love collides with your resistance
Then bounces back inside of me

You tell me that you're strong
Well, your strength just shatters me
As I scramble for my pieces
But the puzzle keeps repeating
It seems so self-defeating
How we plan each move so carefully

And still we both hang on
We risk the night and greet the dawn
An affair for you, for me a song
And then suddenly it's over

Two cynics passing through
I blew it, I fell in love with you
The thing I swore I'd never do
And now my love just turns you colder

You say you're trying to find yourself
Well, I know how hard that is
And I wish that I could help you
To share while life keeps teaching
To share while you keep reaching
But you prefer to reach out privately

And still we both hang on
We risk a night and greet the dawn
An affair for you, for me a song
And then suddenly it's over

Two cynics passing through
I blew it, I fell in love with you
The thing I swore I'd never do
And now my love just turns you colder

You say you're free
Your freedom's killing me
I feel just like a statue
To be admired from a distance
My love collides with your resistance
Then bounces back inside of me
The pattern goes on endlessly
