I watch the world through my window pane
So close, yet out of reach
My home’s a silent prison cell
With rules they always preach
These dreams I dream don’t feel like mine
They’re locked behind closed doors
And every time I try to speak
They question me some more
---
I want to go — but they won’t let me
My wings are ready, but they won’t set me free
I’ve got roads inside my eyes
But chains around my feet
And here, even dreams
Aren’t something I’m allowed to keep
---
It’s not a party I long to find
Just a little peace of mind
Not some wild escape I crave
Just a life that feels like mine
No sleepovers, no solo walks
No plans that I can make
And the hardest part of it all
Is the silence I must fake
---
I’m not trying to rebel
I just want to breathe
But in this house of love
Even hope must leave
---
I want to go — just once, for me
Not hiding, not begging for permission to be
My dreams are alive, but suffocating slow
I’m caged in love, and they don’t even know
