I only want to be free
Not angry inside, and loaded down with pride
Hungry for what could never be
And I don't know how to give
You what you need, that you might succeed
You're killing yourself to live
So how can you ask this of me
How can we go back to friends
All I've got now is this hole deep inside
Now that we're strangers again
And I've come so far just to be
Closer to you, but you don't want me to
I guess that this joke's on me
And I knew this was poison, yet still went along
Though I could foresee the pain
I told myself I could never be bought
But now only sorrow remains
So how can you ask this of me
How can we go back to friends
All I've got now is this hole deep inside
Now that we're strangers again
Now what we're strangers again
