Lyrics
And when you wanted me I came to you
And when you wanted someone else
I withdrew
And when you asked for a light I set myself on fire
And if I go far away I know
You'll find another slave

'Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are

And when you wanted blood I cut my veins
And when you wanted love I bled myself again
Now that I've had my fill of you
I'll give you up forever
And here I go far away
I know you'll find another slave

'Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are, yeah

Then a vision came to me
When you came along
I gave you everything
But then you wanted more

'Cause now I'm free from what you want
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are, yeah

Now I'm free from what you are
Now I'm free from what you need
Now I'm free from what you are
