You were meant to be free
And I always saw you that way
From the first night we talked until two
Sitting by my car in Jen’s driveway

But I knew in the back of my mind
That I had to leave for Virginia
And a cold October weekend
Where school was the last thing on my mind

You were meant to be free
And I always saw you that way
And the night I came to your dorm
And you were expecting someone

It was near the end of the year
I sold back my books.  I let you go
That summer I played with the band
But music was the last thing on my mind

Cause I loved you
I loved you
I loved you
I loved you

The hardest thing I’ve ever done
Was turn and walk away
Learning to forget
It’s easier said
Withdrawn at the edge and shaking

Cause I loved you
I loved you
I loved you
I loved you

But you were meant to be free
And I always saw you that way
