Time has come to say goodbye to broken memories
Locked inside like prisoners, in a place that no one sees
Chorus:
Im a prisoner, go on and lock myself away
Just a prisoner, lonely, lonely
Im a prisoner, just when you think love will stay
It walks right out on you, out on you (oooh)
Stayed up late with a friend of mine, sodden comfort till dawn
Talked about the pain of love, shouldve known from the start you were wrong
Chorus
The sky is grey, its rainin, like the storm in my heart
There ain't no use explainin, cause Im leavin, leavin, leavin, gone
(Instrumental break)
Tired blood runs through my veins, but I can't get no sleep
Locked my heart in these prison walls, this place I got to leave
Chorus repeats 2x
(Im a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me go
(Just a prisoner) Just can't take no more (lonely, lonely)
(Im a prisoner) Oh, you gotta let me leave
(Walks right out on you) Out on you
Chorus to fade
Locked inside like prisoners, in a place that no one sees

Stayed up late with a friend of mine, sodden comfort till dawn
Talked about the pain of love, shouldve known from the start you were wrong
