Dave's World

Dave's World

I live in a world of heartache and pain
Love being my prison I have to remain
Confusion and lies are barriers unseen
The lines of love and hate have no space between
Dreams shatter and fall, tears in distress
Hope and laughter, replaced with loneliness

And I sleep alone
in a world not my own
with no way to break free
Love's chains binding me

This is his world, his game, with his rules
Once I was his queen, now just his fool
And when I should hate, I only open up more
When I should walk, I only open the door
When I find doubt, I look to excuse
When I find none, I start to accuse

Still I sleep alone
in a world not my own
the storm rages on
I try to hold strong

His world closes in, truth lies ahead
Though I should surrender, I fight instead
And when I should cry, I wipe away tears
When I should give up, I'm still standing here
He broke past the barriers, tore down my wall
Taught me to fly, now teaching me to crawl
This world, Dave's world, is there no place to hide
To escape this pain, I know tis only to die

Then I will sleep alone
in a world all my own
where lies will not reach
bruises do not teach
where I will be free
from the love killing me
