Broken From The Start

I burned these bridges years ago
And yet the pain continues to flow
It’s as if I’m not allowed to escape
Like this whole situation is my fate

Try as I might to run away
These broken bonds make me stay
They have trapped me within their grasp
And their not letting go, holding on fast

And each time I want to break
They force me back up to take
Whatever they can throw at me
I was broken from the start; can’t you see?
