Broken Hearted, Gilded Cage

Now wilted and broken Once in her prime though She was really something Wasn’t she – Or don’t you remember Looking back She had it all – She had passion She was going to live her dreams And nothing would Stand in her way Once in her day She was really something Seems so long ago It was the time before You tamed her And made her yours When was the last time You looked into her eyes? Look at her now Reduced to a caged bird You call this love? Listen – can you really not hear it? Day after day, night after night Isn’t there something Way deep inside you That longs to set her free?
