A castle...

I’ve built myself a castle
of stones and barbed wire.
In there I hide my feelings,
my dreams and my desire.

I hide behind those stone walls.
I won’t let no one in.
Inside I can’t stop crying.
You only see me grin.

A master of the secrets
and of the masks am I.
and yet Ican’t escape
one single bond I tie.

You came to me with white flag.
just like the Trojan horse.
You came inside my castle.
Now I live in remorse.

You told me that you loved me.
You told me that you cared.
Now I’m deeply regretting
each secret that I bared.

For you were only lying.
No single word was true.
Your words, they had no meaning.
Yet I believed in you.

So shamelessly you then drove
your dagger deep inside,
took off and left me bleeding
with nowhere left to hide.

Now my stone walls grow higher.
No one is passing through.
Don’t bother coming back here.
I’ll kill you if you do.
