VERSE 1:
It's hard to explain
The pain that's inside
Cuz I feel like my life
Is one big lie
And I've got to hold tight
To the close friends I have
Cuz I know that the fight
Has only just began.

PRECHORUS:
One step, out of line
And I, will end my life

CHORUS:
How could one mistake,
Turn my world upside down?
How could one wrong turn,
Flip me around?
How could one bad choice,
Destroy my life?
All I know is that I lost this fight
Caught red-handed, pressed back to the door
Sobbing harder, tears that reach the floor
Someone hold me, can't take this anymore
Guilty as charged...life is hard

VERSE 2:
I feel so lost
Can't find myself
Even though I'm still "me"
I feel like someone else
Searching through the room
To find a friendly face
But all I can find
Is looks of disgrace

PRECHORUS

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Handcuffed with bonds of hate
Tears streaming down my face
Locked in a cell, key thrown away
This ain't how I want to spend my days
Where's the hope? Where's the love?
Where's my "last chance"? Where's my hug?
I'm not a criminal

CHORUS

No, I'm not an escaped convict...just a teenage girl who feels trapped by her parents.
