I stopped believing
When I was young
That I'd find you
And I started pretending that
Love was a myth from a book
I was so sure I was destined to live my life waving
Goodbye to the ones that tried their hand
At loving me

Now I've played several roles
In the comedy that I've been living
The angel, the healer, the pauper
The dancer
The fool
And your love was the fire
That turned all of those masks into ashes
While you held the actress whose face was still covered in soot

Be free, love is like water
It changes but it never stops
Be free, love is like water
It changes
But it
It never stops

Now and again I still think about all of the loving
That I could've had if you'd only just come around then
But that's not the way that we can play our games
Pretty darling
'Cause the past is a wall built from heaven
Down to all of our sins

Be free, love is like water
It changes but it never stops
Be free, love is like water
It changes

Be free, love is like music
It changes but it never stops, no
Be free, love is like music
It changes
But it, no
It never stops
