I'm Free At Last Lyrics

I'm free at last
From love and all its worries
I'm free because
You wanted it that way
Now you can go, but there's no need to hurry
'Cause never again will I ask you to stay

So run along
I know that you don't want me
So many times, you've proved that in the past
After you're gone, when memories come to haunt me
I'll hide my tears
And say I'm free at last

I'm free at last
Don't ask me why I'm crying
Strange as it seems, somehow I love you yet
Don't say you care
You know that you'll be lying
Don't hurt me more
Show my heart some respect

So run along
I know that you don't want me
So many times, you've proved that in the past
After you're gone, when memories come to haunt me
I'll hide my tears
And say I'm free at last

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for I'm Free At Last lyrics by The, The

Pure poetry. Like so many The The songs this doesn't even need a tune to make it a masterpiece. It perfectly encapsulates for me one of the ways in which love can end.
