We Both Are Prisoners

Guess we both are prisoners
Both searching for release
I pull faces from my cell
You could laugh at least

I know we've laughed so many times
Together and apart
I've held up an olive branch
You've fired back a dart

I don't know who feels more alone
I've felt this way before
My head has prison bars so strong
My house is made of straw

The gates close - you froze
I just want to be in your life
We're close, who knows
Is there space for me in your life?

You call out for help from me
In your own small way
By a magnet I draw near
And my hearts betrayed

If they chained us hand in hand
Would you truly scream?
Underneath this hardened skin
Is a scared weakling

Closed gate is my fate
I just want to be in your life
So apt, we are both trapped
Please make room for me in your life
