you were locked before
yeah, now it's been years of searching -
to find a seam that opens your soul
i swore i'd never leave it
not sure if you believe it
you said you liked it better this way
i was waiting for a sign
you told me things would be alright
i was giving into time
i was walking the maze while you were running away
you were locked before
now it's me who's in slow motion
i think i need to open myself
we were right before, feelings lost
then i was crawling while you were touching somebody else
you were rain engulfing sun
i plead to stay, but you were done
you were buying, i was sold
a perfect warm, while i'm left cold
i was giving into time
i was grasping to long, when you were already gone
