Love Me

How did we get this far?
Creating an ocean of distance between us
Can’t seem to get to you
Love, lost, confused lots
When a dog bites the owner
There’s something to be worried for
Careful is never careful enough
My heart’s content I emptied
To fill this vacuum of endless space
How did I get it wrong?

Did you really live all you preached?
I was swayed by the smoothness of your words
I was lost in the world you created
My voice I couldn’t hear, even when I scream
I always had a dream to be free in love
With you, I was a mere in prisoner
Chains to soul and locks to my heart
You gave me your all no doubt
I had something to offer to
Where you ever there to listen?
