To Be Free - Emiliana Torrini

Once in a house on a hill

A boy got angry

He broke into my heart

For a day and a night

I stayed beside him

Until I had no hope

So I came down the hill

Of course I was hurt

But then I started to think

It shouldn’t hurt me to be free

It’s what I really need

To pull myself together

But if it’s so good being free

Would you mind telling me

Why I don’t know what to do with myself?

There’s a bar by the dock

Where I found myself

Drinking with this man

He offered me a cigarette

And I accepted

'Cause it’s been a very long time

As it burned 'till the end

I thought of the boy

No-one could ever forget

It shouldn’t hurt me to be free

It’s what I really need

To pull myself together

But if it’s so good being free

Would you mind telling me

Why I don’t know what to do with myself?

To pull myself together

But if it’s so good being free

Would you mind telling me

Why I don’t know what to do with myself?

To pull myself together

But if it’s so good being free

Would you mind telling me

Why I don’t know what to do with myself?
