Locked (Out)
(C) 2009 by Robert A Shaw

Losing everything I ever cared about,
Wrote a thousand letters then I chucked them out.
I'm losing everything, and I want it back.

I never stopped believing,
I never was believing...

Everything in scene, or off the stage, or on some tabs
If it wasn't seen, it wasn't there.

I never stopped believing,
I never was, I never was...

CHORUS:
Locked out, locked out,
Constantly damaged,
No more second chances.
Locked out, locked out,
Keep it going, you know,
Never stopping to show
What I mean.

Losing everything I ever cared about,
Take my mind and clear it out,
Stopped my pointless whining back
When pride was a purpose.

I never stopped believing,
I never was, I never was...

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Pulling it together, I'm flying away again.
Pulling it together, I'm flying away.
And this is the end of consequence.

I never stopped, I never stopped.
I never was, I never was...

Locked out, locked out.
As I lay dying here, sitting on a plinth,
You only try once more than the usual compliment.

BRIDGE

I never stopped, I never stopped,
I never was, I never was locked out.

I never stopped, I never stopped,
I should have thought, I should have thought.
I never could believe that this
Would bring me out of happiness.
