"Locked Up"

I have taken a wrong turn?
When will I learn?
When will I learn?
Shall I show them all my scars?
Cherry-Red bleeding burn
Like an angry apple tree
I throw my apples if you get to close to me
But if I look to my right
Will I see the one I fight for
If I look to my right
Or if I turn to my left
Will I see that I’ve kept my heart locked up
Locked up so tight

Love love love love is everywhere
But not a drop for me to drink
Tie me up and bind my feet
Drop me in and watch me sink
Like an angry apple tree
I throw my apples if you get to close to me
But if I look to my right
Will I see the one I fight for
If I look to my right
Or if I turn to my left
Will I see that I’ve kept my heart locked up
Locked up

If I was 17 I could find it in between
The cushions of somebody’s couch
I could find it
I could find it
If I was 17 I could find it in a dream
A dime a dozen kind of love
I could find it I could find it
But I’m not 17
And I lost it in between the birthday cakes
And past mistakes that roll on by

But if I look to my right
Will I see the one I fight for
If I look to my right
Or If I turn to my left
Will I see that I’ve kept my heart locked up
Locked up so tight
