Some times I feel trapped
A prisoner knee deep in stress n loneliness
Though I already carry such I large barren
I bring on the weight of the world too
Its like I cant break free
Cause when Im down theres no one to carry me
My eyes swell with tears
My heart beats slow and lonely
If only someone new how to console me
Maybe they could lift my load and set me free

There are times I wanna let go
No more holding back
Just say what I feel
And speak words from my soul that are truly real
But so fast I snap back
Afraid to let my true love show
Even when it means im letting the love of my life go
I scream it to her so many ways yet its never heard
Sometimes I feel her heart is saying the same words
But can never be sure
Yet I dont let it get past that
She can never know I feel that
She never says
I never ask
For that would imprison her as well
In the deep asylum where I dwell
Only she can break me free
Help me escape

Am I being selfish?
Thinking to much about something that isnt even there?
But just one look and it feels so real
Could it just be a trick?
Games my mind like to play on my heart
Maybe with love im just damned from the start
Why does the nice guy finish last
Can he even get started
Or will he always be left standing empty handed and broken hearted
Either way I must stand up and be strong like people expect
My strength and poise is something theyve grown to respect
They just dont understand
theyll never truly see
What its like to walk in my shoes
How it feels to be me
If u truly understand where im coming from
Then youll know why I reside in my asylum
