Jailed
A caged bird needs to be let free to live.

The jailer of my heart
You’re trapping me inside
I stay up locked away
My love you try to hide

I thought you were the one
I was ready to commit
You have now disowned us
So in this cell I sit

My pain is choking me
My head is numbed and clear
I feel claustrophobic
In here I shed no tears

You promised me freedom
But I’ve never seen it
The windows all barred up
And my chains still fit

But you don’t own me now
Because tonight’s the night
I’m digging my way out
‘Cause you were never right

So now I’ll leave you here
And steal back all my pride
The “chain” my finger wore
Is by your pillow side

And now I’m gone at last
Oh jailer of my heart
I’ve found my freedom key
And a brand new, fresh start
