When we were together, I felt like I was trapped
I worked so hard to hide it, all my strength was sapped
Slowly, I felt myself going crazy
The world away from you seemed all hazy
Slowly I started to spiral downward
Now that your gone, the climb back up is almost too hard
I lived in a cage, like an animal at the zoo
No matter how hard it got, I couldn’t leave you
You had me trapped in your web of lies
My world was full of lows while yours was nothing but highs
As my cage grew smaller and smaller
I started to find it hard to even take care of our daughter
Then suddenly you decided to leave
I thought I would suddenly be free
But the binds you used to hold me so tight
Are the ones hidden out of sight
They are all still in my mind
Just when I think I have moved on, there is another one to find
Day to day I work my way through
And one day I will be free of you
