Caught Inside

I gave my heart and gave my all to you But the abuse you gave has left me blue The pain and desolation is caught inside The best I could do was swim against the tide I've been to dark lonely places due to the knife You know the one which nearly took my life Those alcohol fueled rages you let ferment Turned on me in violence and mental torment Many years have passed since you let me go Thankful I'm still here I'll have you know With loving help and rebuilding my trust I'm back as strong as ever that'll be a must The hurt and tangled emotions once caught inside Have been washed and cleaned by the ebbing tide In those dark days my life was over let's not linger They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger Time to let go of emotions caught inside Time to let go of emotions caught inside
