Lyrics

she dresses in black
she's wearing all my rings
she fades when I'm not there
she does'nt know how to be
she does'nt how to feel
when she's alone

The baeuty she holds
It's like rain without clouds
She's standing on the edge
she says the words I'm free
She stares right into me..into me

When the wind blows through her hair she feels ashamed
Because she does much better when she hides her face

Free....Hold me close but not too tightly
Free....Don't ever let me go
Free....She says I'm happy where I'm standing
I'm happy where I stand

The pain in her eyes
So vacant so disguised
Well I can feel the rage
When she grabs herself a drink
And hides behind the lie.....all the lies

There's a darkness in her hands you feel her pain
Because you can't fight the devil with a lying face

Free....Hold me close but not too tightly
Free....Don't ever let me go
Free....She says I'm happy where I'm standing
I'm happy where I stand

And she whispers when she prays to keep things safe
But then she does'nt even know God has a name

Free....Hold me close but not too tightly
Free....Don't ever let me go
Free....She says I'm happy where I'm standing
I'm happy where I stand
