I woke up from a peaceful dream
Into a cold reality
Wanting desperately to flee those feelings
And retreat into what was left behind
**
Open 24/7, but not all at once
**
Tangled in the kind love
That you feel before a loss
An extraordinary, ordinary love
You'd pay to save at any cost
Turns out, was only make believe
I thought that love might set me free
The truth is, you never really wanted me
Caught up in another form of slavery
Until I decided to walk away
The chains released and to this day
The only thing that made me change
Was loving me, more than the pain
