She’s locked herself up again
Despite his lies and her own truth
She finds herself back at the beginning
Shackled
Desperate to fill the void
As loneliness stabs at the open wound
Penetrating deep into her soul
Where the damage can be found
She keeps that hidden and locked away
The pain it reveals is beyond compare
She’ll choose to be mistreated
Anything to steer clear of there
The child longing to be accepted
Who cannot accept herself
Is consciously blind to their deception
And true love displaying itself
A heart still broken
A thousand pieces longing to mend
She covers herself in flypaper
And is insulted as the infection sets in
She’s hidden the keys again
Despite the burden she carries
She’ll suffer into the next end

She’s locked herself up again
Despite his lies and her own truth
She finds herself back at the beginning
Shackled
Desperate to fill the void
As loneliness stabs at the open wound
Penetrating deep into her soul
Where the damage can be found
She keeps that hidden and locked away
The pain it reveals is beyond compare
She’ll choose to be mistreated
Anything to steer clear of there
The child longing to be accepted
Who cannot accept herself
Is consciously blind to their deception
And true love displaying itself
A heart still broken
A thousand pieces longing to mend
She covers herself in flypaper
And is insulted as the infection sets in
She’s hidden the keys again
Despite the burden she carries
She’ll suffer into the next end
