Punishment for Love |
Truthdare Doubledare |
Rejected for no reason |
He finds it easy to cry |
Another day that pases |
How he tries to hide |
Confused with how he’s feeling |
Ends up wanting much more |
Waits for the bell to ring |
But no-one's at the door |
Living in a jail house |
A cell of his own |
Will he ever have his freedom |
Inside of his home? |
And the warden is his father |
The watcher his mum |
Under lock and key |
Until he’s 21 |
Uncertain where he’s going |
Uncertain of his love |
Uncertain what is coming |
Is this the punishment for love? |
They gave him everything he wanted |
And a little bit more |
But nothing seems to please him |
He stares at the floor |
Watching from the window |
His friends passing by |
Wishing he could be there (never satisfied) |
Living in a jailhouse |
A cell of his own |
Will he ever have his freedom |
Inside of his home |
The judge it is his father |
The jury his mum |
He’ll just have to serve his sentence |
Until he’s 21 |
Well you know |
Time waits for no-one |
Got a pace of its own |
The dawning of an idea |
To go it alone |
Longing for adventure |
Fear of the unknown |
Trying to find the courage |
Make a break of his own |
Fleeing from that jailhouse |
His heart full of hope |
There’s a ride waiting for him |
To take him to the smoke |
