A Prisoner of Your Love
You bind me up with your chains of love
and lock me in like a prisoner
Stealing away my life
Wiping the smile from my face
Snatching away my dreams
Beyond selfish you use and manipulate
I'm your robot, serving you, without feelings
I look at you and I don't even know you anymore
Making me feel like an abused child of yours
Feeling more than hate for you
I pray for God's mercy toward you
Even after all is said and done
I know I forgive you, it's who I am
Why should I have to change?
