Barbed Wire Heart

Another tortured soul struggling to stay alive.
Day by day she struggles to survive.
Lying to herself to figure out who you are.
She keeps her love shut away deep inside her barbed wire heart.
A feeling stirred deep inside her that she's never known.
Only you can awaken the fire from the ashes.
You helped wipe away all the tears gathered upon her lashes.
A true love she's always dreamed of.
Could never be made real in this hell she's living in.
She keeps her love hid away deep inside her barbed wire heart.
Trying to escape hatred's cruel embrace.
What she would do just to see your face.
Even if for a little while.
The pain would be erased by a temporary smile.
To keep her love for you locked away deep inside her barbed wire heart.
