Bound by your words
My world spins out of orbit
Everything I have ever believed in
Shatters before my tear-filled eyes

Bound by your vows
I am your collateral damage
Hurt and broken enough
Annihilated by your honesty

Falling into the same trap
Bonded by fate or destiny
I wait and wait for a change
That I know will never come

Unto your hands I place my heart
Unto your heart I place my trust
You alone can bring me profound happiness
You alone can bring me to my knees

And on my knees I cry
Wondering why, oh God why?
And yet I take it all in stride
Swallowing every hit to my pride

Keeper, keeper of my broken soul
I am your trophy, You are my vice
Love me, don't ever stop loving me
Cherish me, honor me...Kill Me.

Too many people I know are bound by obligations and responsibilities...and yet, I'm the one who's paying for it.
