Just a Child

Lonely child
He was just a lonely child (oh, oh)
But the world refused to see
They took away his gentle smile
Now he hides where no one can be
Locked inside his mind
A soul that’s left behind
The life he should have known
Now he’s lost and all alone (oh, oh)

I'm a prisoner in my mind
From a past that’s cold and cruel
I hide so I don’t feel
This pain that holds my heart, and breaks all the rules

Broken dreams and quiet tears (oh, oh)
Everything just slipped away
The child he was is gone for years
Now he hides from yesterday
Locked inside of him
A heart that’s wearing thin
Freedom’s just a distant song
Now he wonders where he belongs

I'm a prisoner in my mind
From a past that’s cold and cruel
I hide so I don’t feel
The shadow chase me still
The scar refuse to heal
This pain that holds my heart, and breaks all the rules

Who can fix what's broken now?
Who can chase the pain away?
The child he was is gone for years
Now he hides from yesterday

Locked inside his mind
A soul that’s left behind
The life he should have known
Now he’s lost and all alone

I'm a prisoner in my mind
From a past that’s cold and cruel
I hide so I don’t feel
The shadow chase me still
The scar refuse to heal
This pain that holds my heart
This pain that holds my heart

And breaks all the rules
