[Verse]
Locked in this cage, emotions raging wild,
Heart yearning, but fear's got me beguiled,
Rejection’s shadow, lurking in my dreams,
Like a phantom, haunting all my schemes.
[Verse 2]
Walls built tall, fortress 'gainst the pain,
Each brick a memory, love’s bitter refrain,
Haunted by ghosts, love lost in the night,
Fearing the fall from such dizzying heights.
[Chorus]
Want to love again, heart on the mend,
But scared of breakin’, scared of the end,
Caught in this tangle, vulnerable plight,
Want to love again, but fear dims the light.
[Verse 3]
Cupid's arrow, aimed with no precision,
Left me bleeding, heart an open incision,
Eyes see the future, but past holds me tight,
Love’s battlefield, lost too many fights.
[Bridge]
Want to break free, give my heart a fresh start,
But chains of old wounds, they tear me apart,
Dream of a love where fear won’t reside,
But reality’s harsh, can’t seem to hide.
[Verse 4]
Seeking a spark, ignite this dying flame,
But worry whispers, all ends the same,
Love's a gamble, stakes high in this game,
Risk it all or retreat in shame.
