Prison You Call Love

Prison You Call Love

⸻

Verse 1

You call it love but it looks like chains,

Every smile you fake just hides the pain.

You stay in a house that don’t feel like home,

Sleeping next to fear, still feeling alone.

He breaks you down, then calls it care,

Tells you lies, but you still stay there.

You’ve mistaken survival for what you deserve,

But a cage is a cage no matter the curve.

⸻

Chorus

That ain’t love, it’s a prison you call home,

Tied to a ghost, but you’re dying alone.

You deserve fire, not ashes and dust,

That ain’t love, it’s control, not trust.

⸻

Verse 2

You forgive the hurt, he repeats the crime,

You cover the scars, say you’re doing fine.

But the silence screams louder than words,

And your laughter fades every time it hurts.

I see the truth you try to disguise,

The light in your soul dim behind your eyes.

You’re worth more than the weight of his chains,

But you keep on bleeding just to stay the same.

⸻

Chorus

That ain’t love, it’s a prison you call home,

Tied to a ghost, but you’re dying alone.

You deserve fire, not ashes and dust,

That ain’t love, it’s control, not trust.

⸻

Bridge (haunting, almost whispered)

How many nights will you sell your peace?

How many wounds before you break free?

Love don’t choke, love don’t bind,

Love don’t leave your soul behind.

⸻

Final Chorus (stronger, layered vocals)

That ain’t love, it’s a prison you call home,

Tied to a ghost, but you’re dying alone.

You deserve fire, not ashes and dust,

That ain’t love, it’s control, not trust.

⸻

Outro (beat drops, raw)

Call it love if you want… but I see chains.

And chains don’t change.
