Lyrics

Prisoner

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've never been wrong

But you're the only one I trust to show me the way

I always hear your voice

And in my dreams I hear you calling my name

What is it about you?

Some kind of light shines from your face

And I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner

Captured by your eyes

I've been taken

And I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner

Captured by your eyes

I've been taken

And I've been hypnotized

And your eyes say everything

You want to keep me here forever

I can't escape

One minute's so sincere

Then you completely turn against me

And I'm afraid

You don't have to say you love me

Cause if you want me, I'll stay

Cause I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner

Captured by your eyes

I've been taken

And I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner

Captured by your eyes

I've been taken

And I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
