I've been feeling sad and lonely
Since you've been so far from me
You've been my lifeline, for the seven months
But I can't reach you now over this distance
Well my father tells me that my heart rules my head
I should always be there for my children instead
Stop running around, all over the place
Stay at home, cook and clean and go quietly insane
Sometimes I feel like a prisoner
I'm trapped in my own little world
What I wanted when I was twenty-three
Has affected the rest of my life
The rest of my life
Well everyone tried to tell me
But it was something that I just had to be
It seemed right at the time, I never felt so serene
But it took me a while to wake up from the dream
Yes it took me a while to wake up from the dream
Sometimes I feel like a prisoner
I'm trapped in my own little world
What I wanted when I was twenty-three
Has affected the rest of my life
Sometimes I feel like a prisoner
I'm trapped in my own little world
What I wanted when I was twenty-three
Has affected the rest of my life
The rest of my life
And life will go on, I must carry on
