HOSTAGE

Bury your heart
Somewhere where no one can dig that deep
Bury your love
And then you might as well bury me
Now, I never consented to this
But you fill me, yeah you fill me right up
You dig in your nails, and you never let up

All of the risks that we take
Getting broken, tied up, and tangled
All of the risks that we take
Are they worth it?
Well, I hope that they're worth it cause...

I WAS FREE...TIL THE NIGHT THAT YOU CAUGHT ME
I WAS FREE...IN A MOMENT, YOU GOT ME
I CAN'T EXPLAIN...EXPLAIN AWAY THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
ALL I KNOW IS I'M HELD HOSTAGE...HOSTAGE...
BY YOU...

Lock up your heart
That way, no one can hurt you
I'll lock up my love
And then I'll never be the fool
Yeah, I never expected that this would just slay me
Just hunt me right now
Now, you've tied up my hands
Until you come around

All of the promises broken
Leave me so cold, hardened and faithless
But the hope that I've managed to salvage
Leaves me waiting...for something like this and...

I WAS FREE...TIL THE NIGHT THAT YOU CAUGHT ME
I WAS FREE...IN A MOMENT, YOU GOT ME
I CAN'T EXPLAIN..EXPLAIN AWAY THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
ALL I KNOW, IS I'M HELD HOSTAGE...HOSTAGE
BY YOU...

All of the ghosts from the past say
"Be careful...cautious and careful..."
But I cannot control this affection
Are you worth it?
God, I hope that you're worth it cause

I WAS FREE...TIL THE NIGHT THAT YOU CAUGHT ME
I WAS FREE...IN A MOMENT, YOU GOT ME
I CAN'T EXPLAIN...EXPLAIN AWAY THE THINGS THAT YOU DO
ALL I KNOW IS I'M HELD HOSTAGE...HOSTAGE
BY YOU...
