Too Sweet

Trapped Inside Myself

I'm trapped inside myself
I can't seem to find the way out
I remember why I hid here
Of that I have no doubt
I've lost the key
That unlocks my soul
I traded it for a shell
That keeps things in control
I wish to escape
From this place that I've made
To do all the things
My shell has forbade
I wish to hold a woman
To keep her in my arms
To speak without doubts
To use all my charms
Where is the release
That I know I must find
Will I find it in the future
Or did I leave it behind
What will it take
To free my soul
To give me the courage
To reach for my goals
I seek my answers
In all that I do
I seek them in myself
I search for them in you
Everyone I meet
Has part of the key
They each teach me something
That releases more of me
Soon will come the day
When I've escaped from my shell
On that day I'll be free
My confidence will swell
As my eyes begin to open
And the world I start to see
I will find that special girl
The one put here just for me
I'll say good-bye to my shell
In which I wasted so much time
And finally be myself
From the depths finally climbed
