Locked Away

she's haunted by her memories
and the past that could have been
they're locked away so she can't see
the life she had with him

and at night she's sleeping tight
in the bed she grew up in
and at night she's uncluttered by
the things that meant much then

unlock the door
clean it out
keep the things
she cares about
and let the past go free
so she can finally be
she can finally be

she's full of hope with her life
all the things she's found
the memories that haunted her
seem buried in the ground

in the recess of her mind
she knows behind those locks
are things that arent sweet and kind
in an eight by eight foot box

unlock the door
clean it out
keep the things
she cares about
and let the past go free
so she can finally be
she can finally be

and I say
burn the box
it holds you down
I say
burn the box
till it smolders on the ground
until then you won't see
you were always free
and on that day
you will come to me
you will come to me

unlock the door
clean it out
keep the things
she cares about
and let the past go free
so she can finally be
she can finally be

with me...
