Out of rhythm..and rhyme

i have seen this place before
its an image of a time from far away
where there was love to give away
and i still had time

i have crawled out of here before
where they said i'm too late
and the colours of the rainbow
had already been given away

i have felt like this before
helpless, shallow and hollow
expendable and not knowing
what i was being spent for

but i gotta not let it show
keep it under wraps
and save what is left
for better times will come

but most of all i gotta learn
to keep my heart on leash..
