Locked Me Up

I had a good three week run
Of not comparing my strength to anyone
But when the water flooded my eyes
I realized I had to go back to day one

So when you tell me everything's alright
I smile through the red on my cheeks and say that I am fine

But I never wanted you to lift me up
I wanted you to give me up and run away before i set your life to flames
I never wanted you to take time out of your day
I wanted you to throw the keys that you used on me
When you finally locked me

Up up up
Up up up

The music you played to drown my mind out
Only made the headache worse from the yelling and the shouting getting louder in my head

And the tea you gave me to soothe my aching soul
Only burnt my tongue
And now I'm raw

So when you hold me in your arms
And tell me everything's ok
I know I'm getting in your way
So why do you still stay

I never wanted you to lift me up
I wanted you to give me up and run away before I set your life to flames
I never wanted you to take time out of your day
I wanted you to throw the keys that you used on me
When you finally locked me

Up up up
Up up up

Through away the keys
Blame it all on me
Put yourself first
Do not risk getting hurt

But I never wanted you to lift me up
I wanted you to give me up and run away before I set your life to flames
I never wanted you to take time out of your day
I wanted you to throw the keys that you used on me
When you finally locked me

Up up up
Up up up

You locked me up
You locked me up

I had a good three week run
Of not comparing my strength to anyone
But when the water flooded my eyes
I realized I had to go back to day one
