Slaves

I tighten the rope around my heart
'Cause I’m afraid I’ll love too much
I add extra glue to my lips
Afraid to speak, I might say too much
And hurt someone

When you see me do I look free
It isn’t true I’m just a fool
Aren’t we all born slaves to something

I look at my eyes in the dark
I hear a tear roll down my cheek
I wish you could help me escape
Don’t wanna run just say I’m done
And fly away

I wanna believe that I am free
I know it’s not true I’m just a fool
Aren’t we all born slaves to loving

It’s hard to let go, in all honesty
I’m frightened to death
I need a feeling that’s real
Not this fantasy about me n you

Whеn you see me do I look strong
I am so weak you are so wrong
Arеn’t we all slaves to pretending

When you see me do I look free
It isn’t true I’m just a fool
Aren’t we all born slaves
Slaves to something
