lyrics

So I’m back here alone with nothing to save me but sleep
Left here with nothing but a handful of secrets to keep
Lived by my own standards; hated the names I was called
So I tried living by yours, now I’m left with nothing at all

Lock me away, I’m not fit to be free
Lock me away, I’m not fit to be free

I can’t love, I can’t hate, all my senses are dead
I’ve got the word “Rejected” stamped across my head

So keep out of my way, don’t take what I say seriously
Because I’m so numb and I’ll take anyone else down with me
Good intentions collapse the moment you walk through the door
Resisting temptation is easy but what good is it for?

Lock me away, I’m not fit to be free
Lock me away, I’m not fit to be free

I can’t love, I can’t hate, all my senses are dead
I’ve got the word “Rejected” stamped across my head
I’m so bored of everything; it all seems a chore
There’s nothing to believe in anymore

Well there’s someone out there who isn’t put off by my shame
She’ll slip her hand in mine; she wants to make me happy again
And I’ll go through the motions with her; it gives me something to do
Then I’ll cry by myself because the only person I want is you

Lock me away, I’m not fit to be free
Lock me away, I’m not fit to be free

I can’t love, I can’t hate, all my senses are dead
I’ve got the word “Rejected” stamped across my head
I’m so bored of everything; it all seems a chore
There’s nothing to believe in anymore
