I sought solace when the world was unfair But when I sought solace you were just not there And you seek freedom in the open air But when I sought solace you were just not there What it was, what it wasn't doesn't matter now The world's been flipped over and over since we made that vow It's been fourteen years, but you expect the same I'm a different person, more than just my name And it was never your fault Locked and held o'er the sea But time came to a halt But gone, they said you were gone And I had to cope with the Tears that'd come each dawn and I sought solace when the world was unfair But when I sought solace you were just not there And you seek freedom in the open air But when I sought solace you were just not there Oh when I sought solace he was standing there And when I sought solace, well he seemed to care And well you seek freedom in the open air But when I sought solace you were just not there There was excitement through the city when the count sailed in Your extravagance, your luster brought them all to sin That foolish boy of mine was in over head But here without your forgiveness, he would surely be dead I owe you so much It's been hard on me too So don't accuse me of such Hate you, blame you!? However could I? When, Edmond, it was you Who spared my son his life? But I sought solace when the world was unfair But when I sought solace you were just not there And you seek freedom in the open air But when I sought solace you were just not there Oh when I sought solace he was standing there And when I sought solace, well he seemed to care And you seek your freedom in the open air But when I sought solace you were just not there You say he's a snake My husband, a snake Why they came to take you From my life Lies! These have to be lies! For how could I Have lived so long as his wife I sought solace when the world was unfair But when I sought solace you were just not there And you seek freedom in the open air But when I sought solace you were just not there I sought solace when the world was unfair The whole time, he was the reason you were just not there I'd have never done it, if I'd only known But now I seek solace as I'm left alone
