lyrics

Self Help Song #338 8/3/99

I've been thinking, Bout' wasting time
I've been dreaming, of a better life
You’re not happy with me and I really don't know why

I been reading, The book of love
And I was trying, to patch things up
You’re still not happy with me and I honestly don't know why

Cos the things that we said
And the things that we did
This was never gonna happen to me
And every minute of the day
Every day of the week
We never really found the time, to be free

Your friends were lying, With their advice
What you been saying, Just aint nice
If you wanted some honesty, then why did you lie to me

chorus

If freedom is what we believe
It could be hiding in the trees
So I will build my tree house
As strong as it can be
And wait there for the change to come to me

1st verse
