A Lot More Free

Leaves start falling when the cold wind blows
And soon get covered by the winter snow
Birds start singin' when the spring rolls 'round
Flowers blooming through the thawing ground

When you love somebody and the love grows cold
The sun starts shining when you let it all go
There's a certain kinda hurtin' only time can heal
That's a pretty good picture of the way I feel

I'm a little bit hurt, but a lot more free
I ain't saying that you never took a toll on me
For what it's worth, I can finally see
That I'm a little bit hurt, but a lot more free
Yeah, I'm a little bit hurt, but a lot more free

From this mountain I can see so far
Rivers running like deep, deep scars
Carrying the lifeblood through my veins
Is it crazy that I'm grateful for all the pain?

'Cause I'm a little bit hurt, but a lot more free
I ain't saying that you never took a toll on me
And for what it's worth, I can finally see
That I'm a little bit hurt, but a lot more free
Yeah, I'm a little bit hurt, but a lot more free
