The same city lines, to the same lonely beat  
 People say hello but I don't know what to say  
 I don't know how I feel, I just can't act that way 
 I wanna hide from all these strangers  
 I wanna run home to you  
 All I need is your compassion 
 Then we can be free,yes  
 I wanna be free,yes  
 I wanna be free  
 I wanna be free  
  
 Oh, the way I'm shut out by your silence  
 It's the loudest thing I've ever known  
 You leave me, leave me hanging  
 'til I feel useless with my hope  
 Oh, it's lonely in the city  
 It can be lonely next to you  
 Just have the courage to open up yourself 
 Then we can be free,yes  
 I wanna be free  
 I wanna be free  
 I wanna be free
