Prisoner Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a beggar taking scraps from your table, oh
Got me digging through the trash
Feeling fatal, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Told each other we would keep it casual
But just enough was not enough
Shoulda known we couldn't keep it physical
We're breaking up from hooking up

[Chorus]
Now I'm a prisoner for you love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on
Now I'm a prisoner for your love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah

[Verse 2]
Said I'd never strike the match
Now we're burning, oh
Thought I wouldn't get attached
Now I'm learning I can't do that

[Pre-Chorus]
Told each other we would keep it casual
But just enough was not enough
Shoulda known we couldn't keep it physical
We're breaking up from hooking up

[Chorus]
Now I'm a prisoner for you love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on
Now I'm a prisoner for your love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah
(Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me)
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah
(Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me)
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on, yeah

[Bridge]
Yeah, every time I got my eyes closed
I can see you in my dirty mind
And it's really so irrational
Got a call for you to make you mine
Don't leave me hanging on, no

[Chorus]
Now I'm a prisoner for your love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on
Now I'm a prisoner for you love
I'm either tragic or beautiful
Just being second is not enough
Don't leave me hanging on, hanging on
