And I'm not sure what I knew And the truth gave me a clue
Why was it not enough to keep And I can't accept defeat
And I know in my mind, I know I should be grateful But it's hard for me, I'm done so easily
Can we be loved, can we be free Can we be all these things you said to me Can we be loved, can we explain Can we be all these things and hold the pain
Can we be loved, can we be free Can we go on, can we not see
'Cause I know myself and I can't take it easy And it can't be good if I'm the one who's mean
And I just could not believe I should've known, I should've seen
That was the only way to be Then the future came to me
And I know my mind, I'm outta time, it's over And I'll leave him here, is there no way to show her?
Can we be loved, can we be free Can we be all these things you said to me Can we be loved, can we explain Can we be all these things and hold the pain
Can we be loved, can we be free Can we go on, can we not see
That was the only way to be And I can't believe it's me
And I know my love, and I know my love is over And I wish I did, I wish I didn't know
