Captive

This empty space
The place where you once were
I'm feeling all the words you said
Pushing me away


If I could turn back time
Would I have still been there
In all those places
That were never meant for me


I always wanted too much (too much)
always wanted more (more)
More than you could give
I'm so greedy (greedy greedy)

I'm held captive
of all we could of been
I'm held captive
this ribbon around my wrists
I'm captive
these threads
sewn to your side
Oh free me, oh free me
Please free me (free me)


And now it is done
The ribbons lay broken
blowing away in the wind
the residue are memories


The void that remains
is all that I can hold
Blisters on my hands
from clutching too tight
