Locked in Love

[Intro]
Hold on, just a little more
Across those walls, behind the door
Dreamin’ of your touch, that’s never there
Prisoner of love, caught in despair

[Verse 1]
Every morning’s a battle, a silent cry
Wishing I could see the glint in your eye
Pregnant with hopes and fears intertwined
My love’s a prison, your past crimes confined

[Pre-Chorus]
Only an hour, that’s all I get
A fleeting moment, a trembling fret
No touch, just a hug, in cold metal arms
Sending my heart through the prison’s charms

[Chorus]
I’m waiting, holding on tight
Through the darkness, to your light
Love’s a prison, but still I stay
Praying for us, another day
Pictures and words, keeping us close
In this lonely, echoing post
Your love in a locked-up frame
Forever longing in this endless game

[Verse 2]
Children’s laughter, but their father’s gone
Counting pennies, trying to stay strong
Your voice on the line, a fragile sound
Love’s a battle, lost and found

[Pre-Chorus]
Fees to call, to say I care
Paying for whispers, just to share
A moment’s peace, a fleeting grace
Yearning for the touch I can’t replace

[Chorus]
I’m waiting, holding on tight
Through the darkness, to your light
Love’s a prison, but still I stay
Praying for us, another day
Pictures and words, keeping us close
In this lonely, echoing post
Your love in a locked-up frame
Forever longing in this endless game

[Bridge]
Would you breathe if I could be near?
Would you wipe away my tears?
Still love, or lost in the storm?
A prison of love keeps us warm

[Outro]
Hold on, just a little more
Beyond those walls, I still adore
Though time and crime keep us apart
You’re forever in my heart
