Locked Up

Why are you looking down

At the ground below you

When you could be looking up at the sky

Up above you

Not a cloud in sight

You put your hood up

To keep it all inside

And I would never want somebody

To frown on a perfect day

And I have never known somebody

Who preferred it that way

'Cause when you're locked up now

You write a story about it

And it's painted on your face with your tears

But when you walk outside

You wear a mask over all of it, but

Darling you don't need to fear

'Cause with a face like that

And a heart that matches it

Well there's beauty inside and out

Yeah the world is loud

So all you need to do is shout

Hello, how are you doing?

I'm asking 'cause I've got nothing else to say

So how has life been treating you?

I think that that answer is overdue

Because I would never want somebody

To frown on a perfect day

Yes, I have never known somebody

Who preferred it that way

'Cause when you're locked up now

You write a story about it

And it's painted on your face with your tears

But when you walk outside

You wear a mask over all of it, but

Darling you don't need to fear

'Cause with a face like that

And a heart that matches it

Well there's beauty inside and out

Yeah the world is loud

So all you need to do is shout

Oh you had it, you lost it

Don't let it tear you down

All the weight on your shoulders

Can be lifted with a sound

All you need to do is shout

Oh you just need to let it out

All you need to do is

When you're locked up now

You write a story about it

And it's painted on your face with your tears

But when you walk outside

You wear a mask over all of it, but

Darling you don't need to fear

'Cause with a face like that

And a heart that matches it

Well there's beauty inside and out

Yeah the world is loud

So all you need to do is shout
