Locked Up Love

Why'd you do it? Rock that white dress,
Ring on your hand, veil on your head, confess.
Did you forget all the things you said?
"Love you forever," but now it's dead.

Black boots crushin' morning dew,
Guard's on patrol, they got a job to do.
Stone walls, steel bars, armed guards at the gate,
Locked away, forgotten, this is our fate.

White dress, broken dreams
Love lost, or so it seems,
Locked up, memories haunt
Promises fade, love's just a taunt,
White dress, broken dreams
Love lost, or so it seems,
Locked up, memories haunt
Promises fade, love's just a taunt.

Stripping off this prison wear,
Under the siren's blare,
Lights out soon, thoughts of home,
Lay down, dreaming, all alone.

Streets we knew, subway's hum,
Football games, beer's soft thrum,
Girls we loved, promised to wait,
But life moves on, and love turns to hate.

White dress, broken dreams
Love lost, or so it seems,
Locked up, memories haunt
Promises fade, love's just a taunt,
White dress, broken dreams
Love lost, or so it seems,
Locked up, memories haunt
Promises fade, love's just a taunt.

Often I dream of that wedding cheer,
Familiar faces, "Kiss!" they jeer,
You vowed to love, but broke your word,
Just wrote a letter, "You'll understand, dear."

Locked up tight, dreams take flight,
Back to bars, another night.
Promises broken, love turned cold,
A prisoner of love, stories untold.

White dress, broken dreams
Love lost, or so it seems,
Locked up, memories haunt
Promises fade, love's just a taunt,
White dress, broken dreams
Love lost, or so it seems,
Locked up, memories haunt
Promises fade, love's just a taunt.
