16 Oz Cage

Rain falls just as qick as the tears it still hurts, the pain of the years But I still hold so much hope that one day we'll be able to cope With all the wrongs that need to be right that soon there will be no reason to fight No reason to yell out and place blame just to cover up the shame I try so hard to ease the rage that imprisons you in a 16 oz cage But it's hard to "be good" all day just to be sure you get your way I cry because it hurts inside you find me where ever I hide But YOU always want to be left alone you bury your heart so it won't be shown While I'm the one who's left to wait for you to decide to let go of the hate But when good times see their way through is when I think i can't live with out you All the bad feelings are pushed away to try to start a brand new day Maybe once you will be with out doubt so you won't have a reason to shout I want to be rid of this fear inside it won't go away, even when I close my eyes
