Locked Me Up

I had a good three week run

Of not comparing my strength to anyone

But when the water flooded my eyes

I realized I had to go back to day one

So when you tell me everything's alright

I smile through the red on my cheeks and say that I am fine

But I never wanted you to lift me up

I wanted you to give me up and run away before i set your life to flames

I never wanted you to take time out of your day

I wanted you to throw the keys that you used on me

When you finally locked me

Up up up

Up up up

The music you played to drown my mind out

Only made the headache worse from the yelling and the shouting getting louder in my head

And the tea you gave me to soothe my aching soul

Only burnt my tongue

And now I'm raw

So when you hold me in your arms

And tell me everything's ok

I know I'm getting in your way

So why do you still stay

I never wanted you to lift me up

I wanted you to give me up and run away before I set your life to flames

I never wanted you to take time out of your day

I wanted you to throw the keys that you used on me

When you finally locked me

Up up up

Up up up

Through away the keys

Blame it all on me

Put yourself first

Do not risk getting hurt

But I never wanted you to lift me up

I wanted you to give me up and run away before I set your life to flames

I never wanted you to take time out of your day

I wanted you to throw the keys that you used on me

When you finally locked me

Up up up

Up up up

You locked me up

You locked me up

I had a good three week run

Of not comparing my strength to anyone

But when the water flooded my eyes

I realized I had to go back to day one
