I live on a heart with chains;

Asleep in your bed, and dreaming of satisfaction,

While I’m dreaming of you, and nightmares of devastation-

Creep inside my thoughts, and figure out this dream,

No heartbreak or rejection, it’s what it doesn’t seem.

I’m locked inside your arms, tight- and you won’t let go,

I’m drowning out your words, because your lies are all I know,

As you repeat three nasty letters, and my eyes sting with tears,

It’s exactly what you’re saying, that brings me so much fear

I’d like to dream of sunshine, and you saying what you mean,

And holding you and kissing you, and smiles that truly gleam .

But the harsh reality is, I’m just your little toy,

You say you want me alone, as yours, just to keep away, the other boys;

I’m your backup plan, your rebound, and your escape from other pain

I’m tied to the tracks of love, and you’re directing the train.

The best part of waking up, is waking up to find,

That I was never yours, and you were never mine

Dreaming leaves you raw, emotions in a spur,

Not knowing what to do, because everything’s a blur

But now I can cover up the scars, with a smile that perceives to be true

And live on a heart with chains, to know I’ll never belong to you…
