Monterey

You don't know me like you used to

These days I don't know myself

Where I stand seems too familiar

Who I used to be's becoming someone else

And now I'm here

Where nothing much at all seems clear

Pulled and torn from all directions

Like a soldier caught in someone else's war

Days seem strange and so peculiar

No one's making sense, nothing feels secure

Where to turn

There's something here for me to learn

There's only so much of yourself you can give away

Monterey

I don't owe a thing to anyone

There's nothing more I'm required to do

Let them all apply their pressure

Just remember who they are talking to

Someone real

Whose only just begun to feel

You don't have to understand me

I believe that somehow it's been understood

And if there's one thing I am sure of

To deny yourself does no one any good

Now I know

Freedom is just letting go

There's only so much of yourself you can give away

Monterey
