Lock The Gates
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.
I should’ve locked the gates
I should’ve thrown away the key
And I’d be fine with this
To be the end for you and me
Now you pour out of me
‘Cause I’ve been under your spell
I flush it out to sea
And hope someday I can repel
Even if we wake the dead
You’re causing all the troubles buried in my head
What was I supposed to do?
Was barely standing when you
Fell into my arms again
You fell into my arms
Been through all this before
Born with a silver spoon and crown
You see an open door
And feel free to run me down
Even if we wake the dead
You’re causing all the troubles buried in my head
What was I supposed to do?
Was barely standing when you
Fell into my arms again
You fell into my arms
Even if we wake the dead
You’re causing all the troubles buried in my head
What was I supposed to do?
Was barely standing when you
Fell into my arms again
Walking down this lonely road
Me, myself and what is burning in my chest
What was I supposed to do?
Was barely standing when you
Fell into my arms (you fell into my arms)
You fell into my arms (you fell into my arms)
My arms again
