Said my freedom said please stay Said i'm waiting amma say And i ran away from living Thought i wanted it that way Every step i should be giving But i'm stuck feeling just pain If thats how it's gotta be Can we love we should pray Can we trust it'll go our way If i knew why i'd be living Except i wanted it that way And i tried i'm always trying And i wanted you to stay If that's how its gotta be In my freedom in my pain Will they leave me amma say And i wanted to believe it That you wanted it that way And my love has lost its feeling And my love what should it say And i tried to let you love me And i wanted it that way And i know you'll always love me Can you please help make me stay If that's how its gotta be To make me try to be And i ran away from living But i wanted it that way Every step i should be giving But i'm stuck feeling just pain If i knew why i'd be living Except i wanted it that way And i tried i'm always trying And i wanted you to say That's how its gotta be If that's how its gotta be
