I Wrote Your Name On A Page

I Burned It All Away.

There was a fire raging within me,

And it went on for years;

Pain trapped inside my heart,

Long after the day, we decided to part.

You put me in a box of conditions,

Where you controlled me with manipulation,

Dangled me on a string,

So the world would never hear me sing.

One day I woke up,

And I saw through your little game;

Don't you think it was a bit lame?

You expected me to fade away,

But, yes I had my day.

I took my control back,

I took center stage;

And I wrote your name on a page,

And in a fit of releasing my rage,

I burned it all away.
