lyrics

I can’t get free of you
No matter what I do
There’s a stickiness to your sweet lies
And it’s worse when you tell the truth

I can’t stop hoping for
A time when you’ll want more
A time I fear is passed
Where I live just like before

And all your perfect poses
Make me feel more alone
It’s not your beauty that oppresses me
But the people you use it on

I can’t get free of you
I am only free of me
With the dissipation of my needs
As you strip away my dignity

If I lose sight of you
Then I’ve lost sight of me
And then what would I do
What would be the point of being free

And all your perfect poses
Keep me in your orbit
Where I’m just spinning out my hope
And waiting for you to want it

I can’t get free of you
I can’t get free of you
