Captured are the memories that always lead to you

Painful are the thoughts that I can't seem to undo

Forgiving is the heart but the mind doesn't put it away

How you heart me the deepest and scarred my living days

Shackled to a pain that burdens my heart so

The more I try to forget, the more it seems to grow

The promise that I kept to you was what God would have asked

Broken are the ties that bind, but still I am captured in this trap

It's like being in a bottle filled with a poison smoke

A cork placed on top and there is nowhere for me to go

I close my eyes and hold my breath hoping it will be over

But you live on tormenting me

Laying this burden forever on my shoulders

Captured in this endless pain and looking for a way

To release my soul from the shackles you have forced on me

Even after your dying day

What I would give to just be able to forget

And breathe for a second without this in my head

To erase the hurt and the anger that you put on me

I am captured in this trap and see no way to get free
