about

Written months after a sudo-relationship ended, 'Free Man' is a story of abandoned sadnesses left unacknowledged.

lyrics

I loved the idea of us
I waited for months to hear you in real 
It changed like the hours
You changed on your own
 It wasn’t the same to be your friend  

But I’ll wonder
 How did we keep this secret?
 And I’ll wonder 
How did we be before?  

One day it hurts 
The change that was made in just September 
We are

For a moment
Trapped in illusion, I believed in my fantasy
Trapped in the season 
All-nighters to write to you

I watched the sunrise and I waited 
For a message to say, "come and be with me "
I would’ve made the change
 I would’ve spent the change to run
  
If I had gone
Would there be... weak... have lasted?
If I had gone 
Fear would be here

  F***ing hungry
 End this song 
Eat a salad
Be my own
Goodbye
