Prisons and Prisoners

80 percent me and 20 percent you
You said it long enough
And When it came to us
I never gave up
And I was the one left begging you
To please stay, don't go
I didn't want to be left here alone

And your heart was my home
My place of comfort
The one place that I'd never leave
Your heart was a prison, and I was a prisoner
The one place that I could be me
So I said to the jailer "Hey lock me inside
And I'll throw away the key
Because I've been here so long, and this place is familiar
And I'll stay even if she leaves"

I blame it on you, you blame it on me
But I know better than that
You see, I've made mistakes
And thrown memories away
And lost track of time that I can't replace
And I've prayed for clarity
But God isn't listening
So I've gotta figure this out on my own
It's like I'm doomed to repeat these screw-ups in me
This is a lonely road

And your heart was my home
My place of comfort
The one place that I'd never leave
Your heart was a prison, and I was a prisoner
The one place that I could be me
So I said to the jailer "Hey lock me inside
And I'll throw away the key
Because I've been here so long, and this place is familiar
And I'll stay even if she leaves"

Oh

And your heart was my home
My place of comfort
The one place that I'd never leave
Your heart was a prison, and I was a prisoner
The one place that I could be me
So I said to the jailer "Hey lock me inside
And I'll throw away the key
Because I've been here so long, and this place is familiar
And I'll stay even if she leaves"
