I cannot hold you here.

I cannot hold you here
in this cage that I built around myself.

I cannot trap you in here with me.

This is my prison,
This is my torture chamber,
I cannot hold you here against your will,
I cannot keep inflicting pain on you like this.

I keep dragging you in,
locking the door,

"Stay with me, love,"

No.

I cannot keep doing this.

If I truly love you,
I need to learn to break out of this cage,
instead of locking you in with me.

I need to let you live your own life,
and stop trapping you in mine.

If I truly love you,
I must set us both free.
