Prisoner of Your Love

Prisoner of Your Love
　
I’m just a prisoner of your love
Lord reign thunder from above
　
Like a moth I have been drawn to a flame
My feelings for you are no longer the same
　
On a bed of nails is where I sleep
Promises to myself I intend to keep
　
Sometimes I wish I never heard your name
Tired of being a pawn caught up in the game
　
I want to leave but I’m standing still
Break the chains but didn’t have the will
　
For so long I wanted nothing but to stay
Now I look forward to the day I go away
　
I’ve grown so tired of this endless dance
And of being a victim of circumstance
　
At times you could act so sweet and caring
Now only faded memories, not worth sharing
　
Any hold you had over me is fading fast
Our relationship was never meant to last
　
It took me a long time to finally see
Like an eagle I want to soar free
