From the recording Early

Lyrics

VERSE
Lookin’ back, it was those big, blue eyes that made me fall in love with you
Now I know I should have realized there’s more to love than baby blues
Just an expression of anger, you said, when we had that awful fight
Just an expression of truth, I guess, when you lied about last night

PRE-CHORUS
All along, you’ve been expressing yourself
Now I’m gonna talk ’til there are no words left...

CHORUS
This… is my expression of freedom
I had hoped it wouldn’t come to this
But now there’s nothing here I’m gonna miss
“Goodbye” is my expression of freedom

TURNAROUND/VERSE
You thought you could treat me any old way; you thought I’d never go away
So here is what I have to say to you; I’m leaving… today
Now you’re expressing an apology, but it’s falling on deaf ears
I’m leaving now, can’t you see, I have cried too many tears

PRE-CHORUS
My departure is overdue, no doubt
Do you understand what I’m talking about?

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Expression for you means expression for me, too
I’m gonna buy myself a new guitar and 50 sets of strings

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Yes, this is my expression of freedom
