Mental JAIL
I’m alone until you come visit me in this mental jail
Feels like I’m in hell
My mind is going crazy and no one else can tell
It’s like you’re my security guard
Holding keys to this cell, my mind and my heart
You have the authority to take control of me
What started off as fun is now misery
But out of nowhere you drive me wild
You come to me with that gorgeous smile
Torture me with those keys
Truthfully
No one can love you more than me
No one can hate you more than me
You have the power to set me free
You come visit me in this mental jail
Will you set me free only time will tell
Only you can decide if I’ve served enough time
Only you can be the remedy of my mind
I don’t think this is where I belong
Open my heart
Open my cell
Set me free to go home
If you only knew
If you only knew
That I would die for you
How many nights I cried for you
Looked my momma in the eyes and lied for you
I’d never hurt you
I’d give my first to you
My last to you
To provide for you
I’d share with you
Take care of you
Be there for you
Go anywhere with you
If you only knew
How much I love you
If you had cancer I would contract it too
Just so I could be like you
I know that may sound crazy
But that’s how much your love phase me
And even if you had a disease
I would still be your little freak
And in the end God would set us both free
I love you so much I cant see me alone
My love for you is just that strong
I want to be the first to carry your child
Swim every ocean
Walk every mile
But I cant swim and my knees are weak
But I’ll do anything to have you here with me
Love you so much I cry when I’m alone
My love for you is just that strong
Do that make me crazy
Crazy in love with you
That’s how much I love you
Tears on the ground
You taking me for granted like I’m gone always be around
I’m tired of waiting and hurting no more tears on the ground
You think you can come back whenever you decide to
Sorry but my feelings are changing for you
You’re getting your life together and I’m happy for you
But when you realize what you’ve lost I’m gone be through
Waiting around like you a king
But if you really wanted me
You would hurt like I do and our relationship would be
