In Closing
Trial Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'd take my life and strip it away
Leaving me with nothing
And take for granted all I could give
If I just gave you the chance
You'd use me for all I'm worth
And then demand even more
With no thoughts beyond yourself
If I just gave you the chance
This empty room is an endless maze
If I get caught within patterns that keep me lost
There's no way out
I know that I won't find the path I seek
As long as I allow you to convince me that I'm still weak
I'll out the ties that bind to free me from my grasp
And endure each passing day as frustration builds inside
Damaged fragments surround me
They always bring me down
The false sense of security they provide
Could keep me from moving on
But I just won't ever fall into that trap
I'll fight you with everything I have
Consider this my pledge
That there's no turning back
Time won't heal these wounds

I'll leave you in the past
I won't be trapped

Georgia "How lucky he is to have her in his life. LUCKY?" The brilliance of that line and the mocking tone is immeasurable. Ms. Cappleman = GOAT. Thank you for ridding us of this horrible man.
