I hear you through the wire The words all sound like noise What happened to the fire in your voice Don't try to hide the distance It's just too big to ignore We work it out like business It won't work anymore I remember eyes that shine As they looked so hard back into mine Now it's just a memory So I'll set you free I'll set you free Still sometimes late at night Moonlight comes into my window I make believe it's how it used to be We made it look so easy We never tried to resist Somehow you stopped believing Somehow we've come to this I remember eyes that shined As they looked so hard back into mine Now it's just a memory So I'll set you free I remember words that fell Like coins into a wishing well It was never meant to be So I'll set you free I'll set you free So now that I must go on What more can I do What good is being strong When all I ever really want is you
