You Were Meant To Be Free Lyrics by Casey Shea

Take The Bite

2006

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
But 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause I loved you
I loved you
Yeah, I loved you
I loved you
[Verse 5]
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Withdrawn at the edge and shaking
[Chorus]
'Cause I loved you
Yeah, I loved you
I loved you
Yeah, I loved you
[Verse 6]
But you were meant to be free
And I always saw you that way
