Once a heart bound and tangled Surrounding myself to ward off anyone who might of cared A reminder of the pain if I ever tried to leave these protective vines and thorns of steel Afraid and timid, but lonely and wanting you saw this and didn't run thought that something could be done that what was done could be undone Saw that I'd lost hope Lost hope in love and trust lost hope and wouldn't free myself from my rusted prison In making your way through my jumbled mess you became entangled Entangled in these cruel wires of pain and protectiveness of mine Once there I pushed and pulled away only hurting us both Wanting to love but finding it hard to do We truly had a barbed wire love Once giving in I learned to trust learned to believe in love Easier the longer i tried Learned to love and hold on to you No longer pulling through these vines No longer pushing you through That prison now our home Tho painful at first We survived Now happily entangled in our Barbed wired love
