You're only as free as the choices you don't make

lyrics

I went for a walk that seems like for miles
I'm getting further from your smile
Should I turn back? I still say no.
It's been a while since I've been around
What did they do to my little town?
Shall I turn back? I still say no.

I cannot see your face
It's all I have of you some days

Do you know me? It seems that I had
The best times that I ever will have
In your arms? You still say no.
I heard there's a bride with a wedding gown
And a ring with no money down
Will he come back? She still says no.

I cannot see your face
It's all I have of you some days

Turning back and sticking around
The further I run, the closer to home

It's been a while since I've been around
What did they do to my fucking town?
Learning that and sticking around
The further I run, the closer to home
