Lock Me Up

Lock me up, hide me away Shut the door till there is no more Close my mouth so I can’t speak Shut my eyes so I can’t see Break my heart so I can’t feel Tie me up so I can’t leave Hold me down so I can’t move Stomp on me there’s nothing left Drown me in fear and bitterness My life is worth nothing now I think I’m lost, might not ever be found So just go away there is nothing here You can be free I won’t make a sound Live your life without me here Go ahead it’s what you need A life of control and flying free Yeah it’s good for you so just forget about me
