I know I said I needed time
I know I said I had my reasons for leaving
But I can't get you off my mind
And I'm thinking maybe space ain't what I'm needing
'Cause this don't feel like freedom

Saw you in a coffee shop
West End Street where we used to walk
Wanted to stop but I didn't
You were looking at your phone
Didn't know if you were alone
Thought it was best not to risk it

Every now and then
Our song comes on the radio
I think of you and then
I wonder why I let you go

I know I said I needed time
I know I said I had my reasons for leaving
But I can't get you off my mind
And I'm thinking maybe space ain't what I'm needing
'Cause this don't feel like freedom
Oh, this don't feel like freedom

Caught up with a couple friends
Got through all them "How you been"s
Tried to bring you up in conversation (Mmm)
Told me that they saw you out
At a Broadway bar downtown
I remember when you used to hate it

I'd act like I don't care
But they can tell it's just a lie
Running out of air
Wondering why I said goodbye

I know I said I needed time
I know I said I had my reasons for leaving
But I can't get you off my mind
And I'm thinking maybe space ain't what I'm needing
'Cause this don't feel like freedom
Oh, this don't feel like freedom

No, it don't feel like freedom at all
This ain't freedom (Oh)
It don't feel like, it don't feel like

I know I said I needed time (You said you needed time)
I know I said I had my reasons for leaving
But I can't get you off my mind
And I'm thinking maybe space ain't what I'm needing
'Cause this don't feel like freedom
Oh, this don't feel like freedom
I know you said you needed space
But it don't feel, oh, like freedom, like freedom
Like freedom, No, it don't, no it don't feel
This don't feel like freedom
