These are the darkest clouds
That have surrounded me
Now I find myself alone
Caught in a cage
There's no flower I can find in here
Not withering, not pale to me

Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow's frozen my mind

My heart is covered
With thoughts entangled
How could I ever have felt so real
Is there a place more lonely
Than I feel within
Could I have seen
Could I have known
I just took it as the truth

Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow's frozen my mind

Always there to remind me
It keeps me from believing
That someone might be there
Who'll free me and never ever leave me

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow's frozen my mind

    General Comment:I think virtue means both virginity and trust in this song. He took something from her and now its irreplaceable .

    General Comment:doesn't have to be about sex but definitely is about BETRAYAL! is like he felt in lvoe with a hypocrite but he's not the only one maybe the song is that she was in love with him and other people knew he didn't lvoe her but still didn't say anything to her and let her fall for him

    General Comment:I have felt exactly the same as it descibes in the song: "Everyone with a friendly face
    Seems to hide some secret inside"
    to me it means that you can't trust everyone, even if the person seems trustworthy.

    General Comment:Since I just came out of a long relationship, I completely understand this song and what it means, at least to me. My ex boyfriend used me for whatever he possibly could. I had no idea because I was in love with him and really didn't care about what he was doing to me. He cheated on me for 6 of the 8 years we were together. This just proves to me how wrong you can be about people, even if you've known them for a long time. People can always hurt you, even the people you feel closest to. He lied to me all this time, so I'm wondering, are relationships really worth the chance of getting hurt? I can relate to this song cos I've been through some terrible things, I guess it makes me feel better knowing that someone else knows how I feel.

    General Comment:To me, this song is about the ultimate betrayal. Not only the sexual betrayal--rape-- but about the robbery of innocence. Her world has gone from beautiufl, full of colors and song... to being caged in her own conflicting emotions. The song then changes after revealing about this treachery asking is tehre anyone out there who is worth it? "Is there someone out there who will not betray and hurt me?"
