[Verse 1]
Everything's broken
But nothing really needs to be fixed
Everything I always say
I always contradict
Don't keep pushing me
Don't keep egging me on
I know you love me, baby
But I don't want to know how

[Chorus]
'Cause I want to be free
But there's still things I need
And I want to be free, oh, baby

[Verse 2]
Why's it so hard to understand me?
I speak clearly
Just give me what I need
Oh, oh, no, no
Just give me what I need

[Verse 3]
Oh, yeah, oh
I'm tired of strangers always coming 'round
I'm tired of all these favors
Cause I don’t know what they're about
I've got to get away, oh
From these conditions
Why can't I just love myself enough?
Instead of looking outside
For what I should have inside
I want to live in a world with
No mirrors, no sizes, no consequence and no prizes
No past, no future, no ages, no losers
No hate, no desire, no fate
All these shackles that I tied myself down with
They're weighing me down
I want to fly away, fly away from here, so far
Just give me wings
Oh, God, why's it so hard, to be free?

[Chorus]
And I just want to
Just want to be free
And I wish I wish I didn't depend on your love
I wish I loved myself enough

[Verse 4]
Somebody once told me
"You can't take nothing, nothing but your deeds"
I’m not proud of most of mine
And I still have a long way to find
And I'm going down that road so fast

[Chorus]
I want to be free, yeah, just
Just give me a ticket, baby
Oh, it's what I need
Take it all away from me
I want to be, I want to be free
Oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
And what if I gave up all those things that I need
That I think make me who I am
Why, yeah, oh

[Outro]
I've so much love to give
We're all killing ourselves for
Can you relate? Can you relate?
Would someone help me please?
Will someone help me, help me?
And I want to be free, free, yeah
Oh, yeah, just give me what I need
I want to be free
