My Own Prison

Day to day I lived,
I thought I knew it all.
Then when I met you,
How could I but not fall.

I lived a life of hope,
To dream was my way out,
Time had passed so fast,
I wondered without a doubt.

Inside I'll always have you,
I'd never let you go,
My outside will be empty,
Too never see that glow.

I live in my own prison,
I built these walls of stone,
Without you by my side,
I'm destined to be alone.
