Put In A Box

• Artist: Jarmis
• Description: This is about the end of a relationship, the day when you realize that the last few months haven't been making you happy like you'd hoped they would. The day you realize the person you care about doesn't act like they care about you.
  
  I'm usually pretty harsh on my own writing, but I actually think this one's pretty ok. Maybe I'm wrong. If so, lemme know.

Put In A Box

A decision lies before you
Now what's it gonna be
It looks like you've chosen
Success over me

Like the desert sun, you beat down on me
Choking the water, my life, from my streams

Like the blood in my veins
Running nowhere at all
Cause you preferred me contained
Like a horse in it's stall

Never to break out, to run wild and free
How could you shackle those chains onto me?

I'm not your prisoner
I'm not your pawn
Go tie yourself down
And let me move on

I can't allow you
Your control over me
So I'll cash in your love
As the price to be free

This decision was made
Without you
Just like I want to be

I thought long and hard
About you
And realized you care nothing for me

oh i feel like that when i was head over heels for this guy and i guess he liked me or didn't want to brake my heart or what but he asked me out and i said yes of course but i don't think he really ever cared he just did it for some reason. so i can totally relate to this song 100%
