Pretty Little Prison

Intro Don't turn the lights on... I don't want you to see me like this. Please... Just stay tonight. Verse 1 I learned to read your footsteps To know which you would be The one who held me in the dark Or the one who blamed it all on me I keep your picture by the window Though I hate the way you smile I tell myself it's temporary I've been telling me that for a while Pre-Chorus If I leave, where will I go? If I stay, I'll lose my soul You say nobody knows me like you do Maybe that's the cruelest thing you do Chorus I'm living in a pretty little prison With a heart that doesn't know the difference Between your arms and all these chains Between your love and all this pain And I hate that I still want you When I know what you can do I'm screaming, but nobody listens I'm dying in my pretty little prison Post-Chorus Pretty little prison... Keep me close... Don't let go... Verse 2 I stopped wearing my favorite colors You said they made me look too loud I stopped talking to my friends You never liked them around Now I apologize for breathing For the tears that touch my face You say I'm everything you wanted Then make me feel so out of place Pre-Chorus] If I leave, where will I go? If I stay, I'll lose my soul You say nobody knows me like you do Maybe that's the cruelest thing you do Chorus I'm living in a pretty little prison With a heart that doesn't know the difference Between your arms and all these chains Between your love and all this pain And I hate that I still want you When I know what you can do I'm screaming, but nobody listens I'm dying in my pretty little prison Bridge Maybe I'm not hard to love... Maybe you just love me broken... Maybe all the promises you made Were only pretty words unspoken... I miss the girl I used to be. I wonder... Would she even recognize me? I gave you every piece of me And called the wreckage destiny But somewhere underneath this skin There's someone waiting to begin Final Chorus I'm living in a pretty little prison But tonight I finally see the difference Between your arms and all these chains Between your love and all this pain And I hate that I still want you But I know what I must do I'm shaking, but my heart is listening I'm waking from my pretty little prison Outro I miss the girl... I used to be... I'm still in here... Somewhere... I'm still in here...
