Release Me (Stripped Down Version)

[Verse 1]
Yeah, it's perfectly clear, love is not what you need
I tell you that I don't care, but I don't want to
Anything that you say, I hear myself agree
And I don't recognise what I've turned into

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know why I want you so
'Cause I don't need a heartbreak
I don't know what addictive hold
You have on me, I can't shake, no
I'm not in control, so let me go

[Chorus]
Release me, release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back?
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to convince myself
That I'm better off without you

[Verse 2]
I could sleep by myself, it would burn me alive
Find me somebody else, but I don't want to
Try to leave out the love that goes against the grain
But I can rationalise it if I have to

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know why I want you so
'Cause I don't need a heartbreak
I don't know what addictive hold
You have on me, I can't shake, no
I'm not in control, so let me go

[Chorus]
Release me, release my body
I know it's wrong
So why do I keep coming back?
I say release me
'Cause I'm not able to convince myself
That I'm better off without you, hey, hey
Release me, release me
