Hostage

Welcome to the end of love

Welcome to the bottom line

Welcome to the push-meets-shove

Welcome to the other side

I don’t care about your motivation

Your love is like a hostage situation

Held together by fear and negotiation

And maybe I was your accomplice

For never having been completely honest

But that’s not the same as being a bullshit artist

So, baby I’m leaving you

I’m headed right out the door

Because I don’t believe in you

And I’m tired of keeping score

Come, why don’t we end this war?

‘Cause I won’t be your hostage anymore

Some words are made of trash

When they bag you behind your back

But why does a head-on crash

Still feel like a surprise attack

After all the hearts you’ve broken

Maybe you should sleep with one eye open

Oh what a tangled web of lies you’ve woven

Trying to talk with you is senseless

You never think about the consequences

Why d’you always have to be so damn defensive

So, baby I’m leaving you

I’m headed right out the door

Because I don’t believe in you

And I’m tired of keeping score

Come, why don’t we end this war?

‘Cause I won’t be your hostage anymore

And like everyone, you fear rejection

But does it ever lead to introspection?

When you see a mirror does it cause any reflection?

So, baby I’m leaving you

I’m headed right out the door

Because I don’t believe in you

And I’m tired of keeping score

Come, why don’t we end this war?

‘Cause I won’t be your hostage anymore

I won’t be your hostage anymore
