Set You Free This Time

The first thing that I heard you say

When you were standing there, set in your way

Was that you were not blind

You were sure to make a fool of me

'Cause there was nothing there that you could see

That could go beyond your mind

Now, who's standing at the door

Remembering the days before

And asking, "Please, be kind"?

It isn't how it was set up to be

But I've set you free this time

I have never been so far out in front

That I could ever ask for what I want

And have it any time

Knowing this, you found the thought for me

That told you just what I should be

And there I stood behind

With all the ones that were before

And memories that only seem

To tear me from my mind

In front of what it is you see me to be

I've set you free this time

I could never find a chance to choose

Between a way to win or a thing to lose

Because there was your stand

On top of all of the love you took

That was always something you could look at

Lying in your hand

Now, who's wondering what has changed

And why it cannot be arranged

To have each thing work fine?

It isn't how it was set up to be

But I've set you free this time
