I feel trapped Trapped
In a house not called a home
In the beginning it was
But time passed by
You became another person
I wasn't allowed to leave
The property was big
But I wasn't allowed to leave it
Expected to clean and cook
Take care of the work
Had to quit my job
Wasn't allowed to even go with family
To the store I had to get permission
To even have people over I had to ask
They weren't allowed inside
If a fight broke out I had to sleep on the couch
If I wanted to use the restroom
Or take a shower
The door had to be open
Wasn't allowed to make the same food twice
I had to clean the house from top to bottom
I wasn't allowed to talk to friends
And had to act ok around family
I was trapped
No escape plan
To scared to leave
I couldn't think for myself
You had to be around
Stuck on my back like glue
Always over my shoulder
I was trapped
No way out
No way out
No way out
Someone help me
Help me please
This smile is fake
I'm screaming for help
I'm dying on the inside
I feel trapped
I open my eyes
A nightmare
I see your face
The man who treats me right
Your worried about me
I smile as you wipe away a tear
You know how I felt
Trapped
But with you I no longer feel trapped
I'm happy I'm no longer in that relationship
And in a relationship with someone who supports me
Someone who lets me be me
Someone who lets me be free
