Prison Without A Wall

Lyrics

I thought I'd die
When you left me behind
It took a while
Till I believed you were gone
Your perfume still lingers in the air
Your fingerprints are everywhere
You walked away without a word
And every cry I made went unheard
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't go anywhere
I hated crawling into an empty bed
And waking up, you're still not there
It took a while but I got used to it all
Locked inside a prison without a wall
Nothing mattered, my dreams lay shattered
And everything turned cold and stale
I was living in a prison without a wall
Years after, I'm still alive
I'm stronger, but still alone
No one left to love but myself
So I carved a life of my own
I'm younger, I'm brighter, I'm living my new truth
I'm alone, but I'm not on my own and I don't belong to you
It took a while but I got used to it all
Locked inside a prison without a wall
Nothing mattered, my dreams lay shattered
And everything turned cold and stale
I was living in a prison without a wall
I have dreams, I have drive, and I have goals
I'm busy thinking, working
Spreading my love and care to those who lack it, crave it, and ask for more
You had it, but you gave it up
When you shut the door, I didn't forget you
But I don't need you anymore
Alone I'm alive, alone I thrive
Living in solitude in my prison without a war
No more shadows calling my name
No more echoes feeding the pain
What once was lost now feels like space
A strength that no one can erase
I found my way through the fog, through the silence, through it all, I'm still here, I didn't fall, I learned to stand, without it all,
Free at last
I hear the call
My house
Is no longer a prison
It is my castle
A field
For my dreams to grow
Thank you.
