tied to the past

i never wanted to move away from here

i never wanted to give this up

i look you in the eye and your soul is closed
i see your soul is closed
i move on
i look you in the eye
i see inside your heart
a locked door
a closed soul
your soul is closed
i look in your eye
you are empty
i look you in the eye and i see
your soul is closed
you cut youself
and you look at yourself bleeding
your soul is closed
i see your heart
a locked door
your soul is closed

i want to say i love you
you don't want to hear
your soul is closed

let me take you down into the valley
where you fear to go
i take you by the hand in darkness
you trust me until the sun comes up

it is time to go now
i will not forget the life i had
i will not forget the feelings i felt
i will not forget what happened to me
this is no time to cry
this is the time to go now

let me hurt a bit more
before you take me away
let me sit here weeping
tied to my past
watch me cry
soul in the dirt
kick it then walk away

when you twist the knife
i can look at your heart
and the closed door
