Lonely child He was just a lonely child (oh, oh) But the world refused to see They took away his gentle smile Now he hides where no one can be Locked inside his mind A soul that’s left behind The life he should have known Now he’s lost and all alone (oh, oh) I'm a prisoner in my mind From a past that’s cold and cruel I hide so I don’t feel This pain that holds my heart, and breaks all the rules Broken dreams and quiet tears (oh, oh) Everything just slipped away The child he was is gone for years Now he hides from yesterday Locked inside of him A heart that’s wearing thin Freedom’s just a distant song Now he wonders where he belongs I'm a prisoner in my mind From a past that’s cold and cruel I hide so I don’t feel The shadow chase me still The scar refuse to heal This pain that holds my heart, and breaks all the rules Who can fix what's broken now? Who can chase the pain away? The child he was is gone for years Now he hides from yesterday Locked inside his mind A soul that’s left behind The life he should have known Now he’s lost and all alone I'm a prisoner in my mind From a past that’s cold and cruel I hide so I don’t feel The shadow chase me still The scar refuse to heal This pain that holds my heart This pain that holds my heart And breaks all the rules
