My hands are tied
With rope and chain (and chain)
I cannot get them free
How did they get
In such a state (how how)
Without prevention by me? (oh)
I think what happened
Is simply this: (simply this)
I lost track of my life (I lost..lost track)
It got away
Out of my grasp (away from me)
And so my hands are tied
My hands are tied
With cloth and twine (oh oh)
They're knotted rather well
Who is it (who had the means)
That had the means
To do this thing to me?
I wish I knew (I knew)
I wish you'd tell
I think you did it to me
You screwed me over
Awful as it seems (so awful baby)
But you weren't counting on me
Bouncing back
I will get over you
If it takes forever (oh oh)
I will get over you
If it takes my whole life (my whole life)
You will not win
You won't control me
I am my own destiny (yea yea)
You tied my hands
With love and heartbreak
You hurt me pretty bad (so bad...so bad)
And now I know
The means and reason
It wasn't stopped by me
I thought I could trust you
But with my heart? (heart)
You played hooky
It ain't no hot potato
You don't pass it around (no no)
If I put it in your hand
Don't put it down
You didn't give it back
You don't care (don't care)
You threw it on the ground
It smashed everywhere
You tied my hands
Behind my back (oh oh)
And twisted both my arms
Till I simply cracked (oh oh)
Till I cracked

Withering roses
And broken promises
One more part
Of this useless existence
Just another heartache
Just one more suicide
Just another broken promise
Just one more thing to keep inside
Sweet innocence forgotten
Blissful ignorance long lost
Corrupted evil soon to follow
Screaming truths are in my path
Deception is my future
Cruel lies are in my past
Everyone is leaving
It's all happening so fast
Just another heartache
Just one more suicide
Just another broken promise
Just one more thing to keep inside
Can't figure out this tragedy
This lonesome aching hurt
A mask outside replaced my face
A stone instead of heart
Once a happy, energetic
Glowing little girl
Now a dark, rejected woman
That girl, she's nothing to me
Just another heartache
Just one more suicide
Just another broken promise
Just one more thing to keep inside
One more, one more
It's one more
One more thing
Another thing to hide
Just another heartache
Just one more suicide
Just another broken promise
Just one more thing to keep inside
Just another thing to hide
I need to hide
