Lyrics
(You left my heart out on the porch. Locked out and locked in... and lonely....)
The light was on but your not home...
and the screen were full of bugs just wanting in...
And...
But you hadnt counted that my heart would it escape.
You hadnt noticed that this was not my place
[Chorus]
I am the center of your attention or I am not with you at all...
I should be the bell of your ball
I deserve to be loved, and so I freed myself.
I was your wife I should be your life as you were mine...
You declared that I never loved you...
But you know that that just isn't true
You said I had affairs as I ate my heart for you
I spent months in that 12 step program..
therapy too, you didn't give a damn
[Chorus]
I am the center of your attention or I am not with you at all...
I should be the bell of your ball
I deserve to be loved, and so I freed myself.
I was your wife I should be your life as you were mine...
(as you were mine)
And you were mine
The amazing thing is now I found me.....
And the other thing is I found what love should be
I will never shut down again, never be locked away...
Locked out...
and locked in is not my thing
[Chorus]
I am the center of your attention or I am not with you at all...
I should be the bell of your ball
I deserve to be loved, and so I freed myself.
I was your wife I should be your life as you were mine...
[ Musical Outro]
The amazing thing is now I found me.....
And the other thing is I found what love should be
I will never shut down again
Never be locked away
Locked out and locked in
is not my thing
[Chorus]
I am the center of your attention or I am not with you at all...
I should be the bell of your ball
I deserve to be loved, and so I freed myself.
I was your wife I should be your life as you were mine...
