I was freed from my own prison
Given wings and taught to fly
Filled with happiness, bursting
Threatening my walls to explode
Yet years of pain kept them strong
Then little by little
You tore down the bricks
That gave me protection from their lies.
Shown the illusion that you were noble
My loneliness answered your call of love
As smart as I was, I fell for your lies
I couldn�t see through the smoke
That you surrounded me with
You promised the things
That I needed the most.
Took the time to lure me in.
Made me fall in love
With the guy that I saw.
Made me believe it was all about me
Kept me around; wanting; waiting
For you to want me.
Gave just enough that
I still couldn�t see
Gave me some hope
That crashed from the sky
When my vision cleared
And I saw what you�d done.
The false sense of security
Diminished with each line I read.
You showed me I still wasn�t enough
And broke your promise
Without speaking a word to me.
I broke free from your grasp
And went back to my cell
Thinking that I�m useless
But looking strong to fool everyone
Keeping insecurities tucked away
Telling them what they want to hear.
So now
The lies won�t stop
And the tears won�t come
But where would I be
Without your love?
Still trapped inside
Secrets locked away
Hiding from the truth
That wouldn�t have been found
Without you.
