Trapped
Mournful weeping rips through leaves
And dewdrop tears rest so silently
And I sit here perched up high
Looking down at the time gone by
I wonder of the years I've wasted
A thing called love I wish I had never tasted
And how I put walls around me
To protect myself from the possibility
Of falling so hard, beyond my control
You promised me a love both deep and pure
A love not bound by limits
But flows like the gentle sea
You left me alone in the pouring rain
Standing in the cold, overcoming with pain
I'm still so numb
I can't believe its true
no matter how I fight it
I have to live without you
My heart is like an angel
Who's lost its gift to fly
It soared among the floating clouds
Then beaten, left to die
Things will never be the same
Cause you don't love me anymore
Theres nothing to save
So I'm letting go
You loved me and You broke me
Now I'm cursed to be alone
My soul is like a flower
That lost its summer glow
I want to scream, to feel, to cry
But instead I'm trapped behind these brown eyes
People see I'm smiling and laughing on the outside
But inside I'm frowning and crying
People see on the outside a girl who has been loved and cherished forever
But inside my heart is in a billion pieces that can't be put together
So I hope you realize, what you did to me
You took everything I ever had
Including the will to be.
