"Prisoner" lyrics
"Prisoner"
If I'm underneath the table
Then pour me another drink
Oh, I don't want to remember
I don't even want to think
I'm a slave to my addiction
I'm a hazard to myself
On a fast ride to perdition
Oh, I'm heading straight to hell
When I throw up out your window
You should confiscate my keys
I will drive you up the fucking wall
Is it too late to believe
Oh I, I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I'll wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Oh, I'm a condemned prisoner
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
I'm a condemned prisoner
I stood there in the spotlight
With the city at my feet
But I was a dead man walking
Nothing ever comes for free
So I moved on down to London
Where I traded in my soul
I could not fill my heart
With all those one night stands and gold
So throw me out your mom's house
I've been living there too long
Well she never liked me anyway
Cause she knows I'm Northern scum
Oh I, I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I'll wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Oh, I'm a condemned prisoner
I think my mind's on the blink
So I get high, so high and I drink
I suffered enough of the hard times when I think
Discovered that over the fight, nine drinks in
Eh, now I'm at the disco, convinced the girls saying I'm the bizzo
'Course I'm on the brink
Looking at me funny, of course I'm gonna swing
Karaoke cause I wanna sing
Pour me another drink
It always ends the same
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
I'm a condemned prisoner
I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I'll wear these heavy chains
Around my neck like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Oh, I'm a condemned prisoner

MAX - "Puppeteer" You're dripping fire tonight.
You're like a miracle, you got me feeling so,
Ah ah ah hey hey hey hey
Ah ah ah, hey hey hey hey
Look like the rest of my life.
You're like a centerfold
I wanna make you...
Alessia Cara - "Scars To Your Beautiful" She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits
She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see the light that's shining...
Hunter Hayes - "Yesterday's Song" Well I used to sing it
And I used to crank it with the windows down
I used to love it
Oh, but I'm over it, man I'm over it now
I used to leave it playin' on repeat
I spun that record 'til it turned...
Michael Schulte - "Back To The Start" If I could go, go into my heart
And search for all the places I left the spark
To find a way, way back to the olden days
Before it started falling apart
Singing songs and telling stories
About when...
Elina - "Paper Planes" You and I were building castles in the air without looking back
Now I tell you all the things that I don't really want to think about
'Cause love is harder than it used to be
And time runs faster...
