"Prisoner" lyrics

"Prisoner"
(feat. Dua Lipa)

Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

Strung out on a feeling, my hands are tied
Your face on my ceiling, I fantasize
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it

I try to replace it with city lights
I'll never escape it, I need the high
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it

You keep making it harder to stay
But I still can't run away
I gotta know why can't you
Why can't you just let me go?

Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

I tasted heaven now I can't live without it
I can't forget you and your love is the loudest
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it

You keep making it harder to stay
But I still can't run away
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh whoa
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

(Prisoner)
Can't get you off my mind
Why can't you just let me go?
Million times
I wanna know why can't you, why can't you?
I wanna know why can't you, why can't you?
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
