Prisoner
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time has come to say goodbye to broken memories
Locked inside like prisoners, in a place that no one sees
Chorus:
I'm a prisoner, go on and lock myself away
Just a prisoner, lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner, just when you think love will stay
It walks right out on you, out on you (oooh)
Stayed up late with a friend of mine, sodden comfort till dawn
Talked about the pain of love, should've known from the start you were wrong
chorus
The sky is grey, it's rainin', like the storm in my heart
There ain't no use explainin', 'cause I'm leavin', leavin', leavin', gone
(Instrumental break)
Tired blood runs through my veins, but I can't get no sleep
Locked my heart in these prison walls, this place I got to leave
chorus repeats 2x
(I'm a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me go
(Just a prisoner) Just can't take no more (lonely, lonely)
(I'm a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me leave
(Walks right out on you) Out on you
chorus to fade
