She rarely ventures from her door Staring at the dress she wore A bridal gown from yesterday Her dreams have drifted away Unforgiving and forsaking Thoughts that keep her heart from making There's pleasure in her misery She locked the door and hid the key Livin' in the house she grew up in Safely out of harm's way A prisoner of her emotions In a prison made of clay On the day they were to marry She paced the floor, began to worry And as time passed that day She knew her love had gone away He left no rhyme, left no reason Left her alone still believin' In a life they built to stay Now a prison made of clay Livin' in the house she grew up in Safely out of harm's way A prisoner of her emotions In a prison made of clay Livin' in the house she grew up in Safely out of harm's way A prisoner of her emotions In a prison made of clay Livin' in the house she grew up in So close at home with her pain The walls can always crumble To set her free once again Livin' in the house she grew up in
