The Cost of Freedom
Girard
The Cost of Freedom
(Verse 1)
I packed up my bags, walked out that door
Tired of the chains, I couldn’t take anymore
I chased the horizon, I ran from the fight
But now the open road feels colder than night
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought freedom was waiting, just out of sight
But the past still haunts me, no matter the flight
(Chorus)
The cost of freedom is more than I thought
It’s the weight of the freedom that I had to seek
I left behind the pain, but it’s still in my veins
Now I’m free, but I’m broken, and I’m lost in between
The cost of freedom, it’s more than I’ve known
It’s the price of moving on, when you’re still all alone
(Verse 2)
I burned all the bridges, said my goodbyes
Hoping to find peace under different skies
But the ghosts of my past keep calling my name
And freedom feels empty when it’s not the same
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought I could outrun all the tears I had cried
But the road’s just a mirror reflecting inside
(Chorus)
The cost of freedom is more than I thought
It’s the weight of the freedom that I had to seek
I left behind the pain, but it’s still in my veins
Now I’m free, but I’m broken, and I’m lost in between
The cost of freedom, it’s more than I’ve known
It’s the price of moving on, when you’re still all alone
(Bridge)
I wanted to escape, to be who I could be
But I traded my heart for the truth I couldn’t see
Now I’m standing on the edge of the life I’ve created
And wonder if I’m better off just waiting
(Chorus)
The cost of freedom is more than I thought
It’s the weight of the freedom that I had to seek
I left behind the pain, but it’s still in my veins
Now I’m free, but I’m broken, and I’m lost in between
The cost of freedom, it’s more than I’ve known
It’s the price of moving on, when you’re still all alone
(Outro)
The cost of freedom… is the cost of being free
And I’m learning it’s harder than I ever believed.
