Wanting some emotion
With just one tear running down your face?
Would my heart then know its place?
Maybe then it would all make sense,
If I had one moment at your expense.

So please cry, just a little for me.
Lie if you have too. But let tears run free.
Pretend you’re feeling some of this pain,
I deserve to know why I am going insane

What do I have you so desperately need?
I'm a rose that has withered, go find a new seed.
Can you not see the fear in my eyes?
Can you remember laughing while I cried?

Why can’t you let me go, let me be free?
Are you so scared of living life without me?
You should be caged in a box and locked away,
Then you wouldn’t be able to treat me this way.

I hear your goodbye. But you won’t let me go.
Some kind of heartache, can’t you show?
Making me stay is nothing but crime,
I don’t want your pity, I just want what is mine.

I want my life back, to live how I choose,
You’re always the winner. I always loose.
You say “jump” I ask “How high”
Just give back my wings, so I can fly.

Just say that your'e sorry, plead on the floor,
Give me that one chance. Open the door.
Stand up, be a real man. Do what is best.
Let me fly away from your nest.

Walk away; knowing that you have won.
Give me a head start, I will then run.
Far from you and then some more
Please I beg you just open that door!
