I Wanna Be Free
Eden's Crush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know he said we'd be together
In my mind and then forever
But things have changed they're not the same
How can we go on lovin' this way

You say you love me but you really don't
You want to argue and I just won't
It's bad enough I have to come home to
A man who puts me in a real bad

I want to be free
From the love
From the pain
From the heartache

[Repeat: x2]
You're causing me

It just seemed fair
To blame it on you
All these problems
That we're going through sometimes it's me who gets you upset
But when it's you
You won't admit it

We try to talk but we must understand
So I stay quiet and you get all mad
It's bad enough
I have to come home to
A man who puts me in a real bad mood

I want to be free
From the love
From the pain
From the heartache

[Repeat: x4]
You're causing me

I don't know what I'm gonna do
After all that I did for you (what?)
Just showed you love
I stayed true

But it seems it still won't do
All you go fussin' and cussin' (uh huh)
At each other like we enemies
Goin' against the grain

With nothing but negative energy (whatever)
I'm not saying
That I ain't got no faults
And I'm perfect

But all this stressin' me
Me stressin' you
Tell me is it worth it
On the phone

With your friends
Puttin' 'em in our business
We might as well go on Jerry Springer
And get it off the ringer (alright then)

I want to be free
From the love
From the pain
From the heartache

[Repeat: x6]
You're causing me

Your causing me
Your causing me
Yeah
Ooh

Oh
I want to
(I want to be free)
(I want to be free)

Ooh
(I want to be free)




Free
Why you causing me so much pain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eden's Crush's "I Wanna Be Free" express the desire of the singer to ultimately break free from a toxic relationship.

The singer is aware that both parties are at fault, but notes that her partner refuses to take any responsibility for his part in the issues, instead choosing to blame every problem on her. As a result, she wants to break free, not just from the pain and heartache caused by the turmoil of the relationship but from the relationship itself.
