The thunder rumbles on again   Same weather, same day   I don't expect your sympathy, 'friend'   I'm goin' to hell anyway      The patchwork essence of life is apparent   My actions seem fickle and transparent   Thrown to the dogs once more   My open heart begins to pour      Chorus:   Why can't I just love you?   Why the shackles and the noose?   The lock, is it unbreakable?   I want so bad to be cut loose      What it is that keeps me here, I honestly don't know   I can't help but think of you   I want so bad to hold you tight, to never let you go   Maybe someday I'll break through      Chorus      Watching from a distance is the toughest route to take   Is my mind clear?Was it ever?   With stupidity and interference, my feelings may seem fake   I want to feel this way forever.
