BOXED IN

I've been up and down
Middle ground
Round and square
In and out
Green-eyed monster
Sad and cruel

This is it
Been there, done that
So have you
First you trust
And then you cry

Forget it all
As the years go by
Start again
With someone new
With all the hope
Your heart once knew

Burn the bridges
And smash the mirrors
Give me seven years
I can take it

Do you want to
Cross the line
I'm never coming back
There are some storms
You just can't weather

I was only looking for
A hand to hold
Now I'm boxed in, cold
A rusty hook in my heart
Fire that burns
Through the rain

A billion dreams
Fell into my lap
That one golden day
Before it all
Turned into pain
Paid my dues
And learned to lose

I wanted to be
The captain
Of this ship
I knew why
Didn't know how
Blue ring on my finger
To remind me

Sometimes the stars
Shine during the day
Even kings
Get wet in the rain
If you had a million pounds
Would sad songs
Sound different

I've ran out of
Cheeks to turn
I sat on the roof
Watched the day go by
Now my wishes are bullets

My cold cold heart
I never look before I leap
Hands up, I admit
This time
I got it all wrong
