"Ransom" lyrics

"Ransom"

I'm talking 'bout how you'd push me away
Said you always let me go anytime I wanted
You can't take another look into my eyes
And say that we never really tried, baby

You're gonna run, gonna get out on your own now
Some adventure's gonna comfort you
I've seen enough to get away
It's killing me and you

In a house in a far away town
You'll tell me why
You're holding my love for ransom
While your name's still mine
You want to ask for forgiveness
Say there's no other way
And I want you to
Yeah, I want you to

And I don't have to try anymore
We've been shot right out that door
If anyone would've warned me about you
I might have gone the other way but not too far away
Not so far away

I don't have to watch us die
Live a life unsatisfied
You can call it weak but I just don't care to do this anymore

I can't love you this way
I can't love you from this place
I can't love you this way
I can't love you from this place
I can't love you this way
I can't love you from this place
Can't love you this way
