PRISON WITHOUT END

[Verse 1] I’ve been searching for answers In the silence of the night Why’d you walk away from love Without a word, without a fight? It’s hard enough with just the truth— But the silence cuts deeper than goodbye. [Pre-Chorus] Every moment feels like a prison without end The verdict was spoken, but I can’t comprehend Chains of memories, still hangin’ in the wind Living in limbo… lost within. [Chorus] Was it something I said or did? Is there someone else you’re dreamin’ of? How did we let it slip so far, And tear apart what we called love? Every moment’s a prison without end And I’m the one who can’t pretend— These memories drag me back again Baby, this limbo’s my prison without end. [Verse 2] You were my lover, my best friend too I close my eyes, I still see you Are we forever over… or is there a chance to mend? This limbo’s breaking me, girl—amen. [Pre-Chorus] Every moment feels like a prison without end The verdict was spoken, I just don't understand Chains of memories, like ghosts beneath my skin Living in limbo… lost within. [Chorus] Was it something I said or did? Is there someone else you’re dreamin’ of? How did we let it slip so far, And tear apart what we called love? Every moment’s a prison without end And I’m the one who can’t pretend— These memories drag me back again Baby, this limbo’s my prison without end. [Bridge] You wanted freedom—your own Fourth of July Left me standin’ here with nothin’ but goodbye Maybe I’m the one who pushed too hard Now I’m the ghost still holdin’ on to your heart Forever locked away... I threw the key… and now I pay. [Final Chorus] Longin’ for answers I’ll never find Maybe it was me who left us behind I pushed too hard—couldn’t see Now this prison’s holdin’ me Every moment’s a prison without end And I’m the one who can’t pretend— These memories drag me back again Baby, this limbo’s my prison without end. [Outro] Forever locked away… I’m the one who threw the key away.
