What keeps me here?
When all I want to do is run away.
Why do I stay?
Just to lure you in another day?

In the corner of my mind.
I tell myself this time is the last
It’s got to be, I’ve got to be
Why can't I be free of you?
Why does this sin take over me?
I swear, it’s the last time
You'll slide inside of me


What keeps me here?
When all I want to do is run away?
(Just run away)
Why do I stay?
Just to lure you in another day?
(Another day)

I suck you in with my eyes, a kiss
And yes my smile, a smile...

His sweet words pour through her ears
Like a sweet song, it plays on
Pulling the strings of her heart.
As the months turn to years
Will he be the reason she falls apart?
Independent strong and clever
But weak to his demands
Barely keeping it together
There she lies in his hands
Like a serpent sweetly slithers
So his words do deceive
Her walls ever slowly wither
But his love naught to receive
And so the song plays on and on
But she will never break free
like a sweet song it plays on

Maybe we wasted the days
And the inspiration slipped away
Betrayed
Cuz we cheated our dreams
And tripped into drowning normalcy.
Maybe we borrowed a wish
And our will wasn't strong enough to follow.
Loosing the rush, the love, all eyes on us.
Maybe we just gave into what's expected.
Sacrificing our spirit, our dreams.
But maybe just maybe we should never give up hope.
Cuz maybe just maybe, its still ours to hold.
