Prompt / Lyrics
(chorus) I can't be hearing this, I can't believe you're telling me I am the sheriff, But you're in love with the deputy I have no shield or any other type of weaponry Love's battlefield, you've defeated me so desperately (Verse 1) Said you were scared, 'cause what I brought to you was true And unprepared at that time of life to... see it through You keep on telling me The future will be bright for us And then you take it back You're dating now, I'm so jealous And then you telling me You don't like it when I act this way I'm just a prisoner To the contradicting things you say When we first met We were macaroni cheesin' it So good together It was easy to believe in it The only question, I guess, would be, "how long?" 'cause one day you're right here But any moment you'll be gone It's the story of my life I continue on But in the next chapter You're not here, you're gone, so long. (Instrumental stops - Acapella for one refrain) I'm just a prisoner to the secrets that you keep I hear that violin, my heart it gently weeps (Instrumental starts for the second refrain) I'm just a prisoner to the secrets that you keep I hear that violin, my heart it gently weeps (verse 2) Not a single clear thought will permeate my brain, I hear the drops and drums of rain I need a rest but it doesn't go away Resonating in my chest Like a permanent delay But I move on In need of new discovery Find the power in myself In trying to uncover thee Secrets and answers, Girl, give me a reason Besides that I'm a Cancer ... the tides or the seasons Yo, Want something real Please tell me how you feel On the level of the devil You went back on the deal My heart you steal, Then you step on it and give it back. Losing love and faith Another chain react... impact. (chorus) I can't be hearing this, I can't believe you're telling me I am the sheriff, But you're in love with the deputy I have no shield or any other type of weaponry Love's battlefield, you've defeated me so desperately (Closing refrain) What can I do? What can I say? I think about the times you turned your back and walk away, I get that feeling girl, it haunts me to this day, 'cause you're gone, ... you're gone. I'm just a prisoner to the secrets that you keep I hear that violin, my heart it gently weeps
