Lock and Key

Here I stand alone and stranded

I do not deserve this torture

Are my sins so irredeemable

Or are you just obsessed with order

Second chances aren't for everyone but they should be for me

You're wasting all your energy, you're barking up the wrong tree

Tell me I deserve this, tell me that I'm worse than them

Then look me dead in the eyes and try to tell me that again

How do you think that what you're doing here is right

You left me shaking, bleeding, crying in the middle of the night

How could you hold out a helping hand to everybody but me

And expect me not to take that personally

I thought you had a soft spot for everyone that you meet

But then you threw me away under lock and key

Help me, I am helpless

I am held up in this hell-like prison

I do not regret a single thing that I have done

But every day that I have been here my anger's risen

This is what I get for trusting that you would be sane

I didn't take you as the type to be so madly inhumane

But time and time again you've proved that everyone was right

Somehow your bark isn't half as bad as your bite

Were my crimes truly so horrible

Look at me now, I'm one hell of a sight

How could you hold out a helping hand to everybody but me

And expect me not to take that personally

I thought you had a soft spot for everyone that you meet

But then you threw me away under lock and key

How could you hold out a helping hand to everybody but me

And expect me not to take that personally

I thought you had a soft spot for everyone that you meet

But then you threw me away under lock and key

I expected better from someone who thinks they know better

I expected more from someone everyone adores

My inner demons coming out and they already want you dead

I swear the second I get out of here I'm coming for your head

How could you hold out a helping hand to everybody but me

And expect me not to take that personally

I thought you had a soft spot for everyone that you meet
