This song details the dreaded "Downhill Slide" in full swing. That point where you begin to realize that everything you thought you knew turned out to be wrong.
There is only one thing about this song that is NOT autobiographical.
That is, that there has never been a time in my life when I have gone for a run every morning.

SONG LYRICS _________________________________
VERSE 1:
When we met you always said
That someday we would be wed
‘Cause when we were born our future was sworn
we’d be together until we were Dead
We had fun out in the sun
Every morning we’d go for a run
And ev-ery night you would always recite
that I would be your only one
CHORUS:
Now you say it wasnt me it was you
and you’re sorry for-what you put me through
you said you couldn’t foresee your need to be free
so the best thing for me is for me to be free of you
Free of You
VERSE 2:
Every night Now that you’re gone
I lie in bed awake until dawn
No matter what I do I end up missing you
and it’s all I can do to go on
When you said Good bye
I couldn’t think of what I could try
to convince you to stay and so you went away
and I just wanted to die
CHORUS:
You said it wasnt me it was you
and you’re sorry for-what you put me through
you said you couldn’t foresee your need to be free
so the best thing for me is for me to be free of you
Free of You
VERSE 3:
Before you bid me adieu
there’s something that I want to tell you
I really believe that after you leave
I’m bound to change my point of view
So be sure you’re secure
and that all your motives are pure
cuz once you are gone I’m bound to move on
and your decision will have to endure
FINAL CHORUS:
You said it wasn’t me it was you
and now I really think so too
you say you’re getting rid of me cuz you need to be free
but what I’m starting to see
..is I’m finally getting rid of you
I’m getting rid of you
I’m getting rid of you
Yeah .. rid of you
