Prisoner In Your Own Heart

Written By: Me

These bars that bind me to my past
I want to escape them and run away fast
Punishing myself for what when wrong
Living in fallacies to believe that I’m strong

I finally found the light at the end of the road
Hard to leave this behind when I feel so cold
No matter what they say
It’s just too big of a burden to hold

I'm scared of who I used to be
Searching for that brand new start
Difficult to move along
When you’re a prisoner, in your own hearT

I run from myself and pretend that I’m okay
Can’t let you see that the pain is eating me away
I wish that you would believe in me someday
But until then, I’ll imagine that I’m strong

So, I'm scared of who I used to be
Searching for that brand new start
Difficult to move along
When you’re a prisoner, in your own heart

I wish you could see who that I am different now
But all you can see is who I used to be
So I sit here and think that I'm that same little girl
Who used to manipulate and terrorize your world

It doesn't matter to you because you still can't believe
In everything that I intend to be
I have dreams and ambitions, I wish that you could be proud
But you can't...

So I fall back to where I was at the start
Still a prisoner stuck in my own heart
Even though I’m scared of who I used to be, you can't control this part
I refuse to be a prisoner, in my own heart
