Trapped
Peter Gelderblom vs. Dan Parker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you love one another
why should you let this go further?
Can't you see it's gonna pull us apart.
If you think I can't afford to
support you if you want to

Ever think about ever settlin' down.

I guess they think that I'm not good enough for you.
I can tell the way they act and their attitudes.

As the tears roll from my eyes
I feel the hurt inside.
As I reach out to you
saying I'm so confused.

oh oh I'm trapped
like a fool I'm in a cage.
I can't get out
you see I'm trapped
can't you see I'm so confused?

I can't get out
you see I'm trapped
like a fool I'm in a cage.
I can't get out
you see I'm trapped
can't you see I'm so confused?
I can't get out!

ohoooh

(Can't you see I'm so trapped
and I don't know what to do.
Can't you see I'm so trapped,
so in love with you.)

You see I'm trapped
And I'm so confused
I'm like a man in a cage
And I'm so in love with you

As the tears roll from my eyes
I feel the hurt inside.

As I reach out to you
saying I'm so confused.
