Free of Me Lyrics
Something's wrong from the hilltop
I know you can see
I look strong
All together
Though inside I'm weak
Still I bleed
Still I wait to heal the wound from my crime
What I need are more bandages
They've torn over time
You're shelter from the rain
Turn around, walk away
Go now and don't look back
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be
free of me
I can be who you wanted somewhere down the road
When I'm whole, when the rains are done, when I've reaped all I've sewn
But here and now, on my hands and knees I crawl through the mire
And your bed is so soft and warm, I'm weary and tired
You're shelter from the rain
Turn around, walk away
Go now and don't look back
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be free of me
Leave me alone
I'll find another home
I'm on my knees crying out please
Go now and don't look back
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be free of me
Free of me
Free of me
Free of me
I know you can see
I look strong
All together
Though inside I'm weak
Still I wait to heal the wound from my crime
What I need are more bandages
They've torn over time
Turn around, walk away
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be
free of me
When I'm whole, when the rains are done, when I've reaped all I've sewn
But here and now, on my hands and knees I crawl through the mire
And your bed is so soft and warm, I'm weary and tired
Turn around, walk away
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be free of me
I'll find another home
I'm on my knees crying out please
My life's come off it's tracks
and you should be free of me
Free of me
Free of me

The missing word is "mire".
This is an amazing song. He's a wreck. He can't benefit anyone else so stop wasting time and energy on him. He's saying to just leave him begins because she can do much better and he doesn't want to hold her back. I know the feeling.
i LOVE LOVE LOOVE this song!
it's obviously about the fact that he doesn't feel ready or able to give her what she needs/deserves at the moment great song!
i'd be curious to know who this song is about. but he performs it AMAZINGLY. wow.
i think it's about a guy who isn't ready to settle down or give the girl what she wants and deserves from a relationship, and has no idea when he will get his ducks in a row, so he is cutting her loose. might or might not already be in a relationship but the guy doesn't want to drag her along.
Yeah the word you’re missing is mire. Fantastic song that’s gotten me through some really rough days post-breakup.
Also, I’ve seen different interpretations about the first line of the second verse. I think he’s actually saying “I COULD be who you wanted somewhere down the road...” It suggests the idea that he sees himself improving gradually and at some point he’ll be better but “here and now” all he can do is beg her to let him stay.
