"Free" lyrics

You were always so adamant
You told me
That the one thing I was missing
I didn't know I was free
Tonight, when I pulled the car around
I was alone under the sky
And I was thinking it was the first year
When I could see somehow you were right

Was I free like I should be
Or free as you were?
Is it me that you're talking to?
I could never stand these simple words
Tonight I left before the sun rose
And drove and drove, like in a dream
All these years I have followed you
It never occurred to you to follow me
