Trapped
by Hannah Bennett

We could give up if we wanted
But we don't, we hang in
Yours is the greatest pain I've ever tasted
But still, I don't want to give in

You made me laugh once upon a time
You also hurt me and made me cry
I guess we both crossed the line
But is it wrong that I still want to try?

People tell me to get out while I can
But I'm afraid of the loneliness
I wish, way back then, that I ran
Being open is my true weakness

You quickly turned into an enemy
I was the loser in your twisted game
I couldn't leave and be free
Trapped in a web of lies, I was to blame

Trusting people with my world too fast
I just end up broken and hurt again
It's a shame I can't escape from the past
I'll fix it and try to hide the pain

I am afraid of the truth reaching the surface
I have to hold on to you to keep that quiet
You know too much, you put my in my place
With all that knowledge you could start a riot

I can't let you destroy me by letting it out
You have me forever, you got your way
You played the game well, there is no doubt
To protect my secrets, I have no choice but to stay.
