Captive

I’ve been a little off balance lately
Maybe it’s the caffeine
Or maybe the weight you put on me
I’ve been feeling naïve
Or at least that’s what you’d like it to be
My heart is captive in your presence;
Oh, how I wish it would let me leave

But do you feel the same?
Sever threads
And leave nothing left to cling to
Wondering if there was something more
I could have done to convince you
Cause I’ve been running circles
I hope I never hear your name
But do you feel the same?

I’m a little bit of “something better”
Some acceptable weather
When you wanted to cry in the rain
Use my words to make a subtle change
Until my voice feels strained
From all the thoughts that keep me up all night
Silence is gold
When you're too tired to fight
Hold my tongue ‘til the morning light

But do you feel the same?
Sever threads
And leave nothing left to cling to
Wondering if there was something more
I could have done to convince you
Cause I’ve been running circles
I hope I never hear your name
But do you feel the same?

Do you feel the same?

I’ll never be what you wanted me to
I could try to change
But really, what’s the use?
You’re dead-set on the impact;
A thrill, but it can’t last
I guess I know now
What it means to feel the same

Sever threads
And leave nothing left to cling to
Wondering if there was something more
I could have done to convince you
Cause I’ve been running circles
I hope I never hear your name
But do you feel the same?
