Lyrics
Prisoner
Verse 1
I walk alone in a prison (with a) life of mystery
Angels and demons keep calling me but I know which way's for me
You didn't end what you started when you left me to die
I'm what you made me so don't think that I'm gonna cry
Chorus
I'm a prisoner
And you have the key
You will never know
What you took from me
I will make you pay
Get on your knees and pray
Having you beggin' for more
There's no takin' back
The life you gave to me
The life you lose yourself
Will be a guarantee
There's no coming back
From what I have (got) for you
It seems you're running out of time... This life!
Verse 2
A ragin' river that drowns you with my eyes of ecstasy
I keep you guessin' and pressin' for a moment with me
You make a move and I've already figured you out
You've shown your cards like you've just finished laying them down
Chorus
You're a prisoner
And I have the key
You can never run
Or even hide from me
I will make you pay
Get on your knees and pray
Have you beggin' for more
I will make you think that I
I was in love with you
You'll be cold as ice
When I am through with you
Don't take it personal (Go and blame yourself)
Not like a man to cry
But you're running out of time... This life!
Bridge
I'm not the kind your parents call their daughter
I want to make that crystal clear
I'm like a wounded animal that's cornered
So get away
Not in the mood to play
Unless you wanna...
Be a prisoner... Chorus Out
