lyrics

Verse 1:

I’m trapped inside the room again
You know? The one you put me in
I’ve spent a lot of time just sitting here
Pretending that you never cross my mind
Feels like I haven’t seen the light of day
Since you planned your great escape
I’ve spent a lot of years away from you
I’m sure that I can make it through

Pre-chorus:

Cause’ your name doesn’t have to taint my words
Your voice doesn’t need to cause me hurt

Chorus:

Cause’ you crossed every line that was drawn
You planted seeds that never should have grown
And I guess I just wanted to tell you
Oh, I guess I just wanted to tell you
I freed myself of all your latches
I lit the fire without your matches
I found the light without your sun
I realized you will never be the one

You had me trapped inside that box again
No one near, you shut the lid
Was tangled up in my own web
And gripping for some sort of ledge

Pre-chorus:

Cause’ you stripped the walls
You buried the tools
And I could hear your voice suffocating me every time I felt a breakthrough

Chorus:

Cause’ you crossed every line that was drawn
You planted seeds that never should have grown
And I guess I just wanted to tell you
Oh, I guess I just wanted to tell you

(Interlude)

That you crossed every line that was drawn
You planted seeds that never should have grown
And I guess I just wanted to tell you
Oh, I guess I just wanted to tell you
I freed myself of all your latches
I lit the fire without your matches
I found the light without your sun
And I finally accepted
That you will never be the one
