Lyrics of 'Captive' by Sarah McLachlan

streets are dark and empty now
time for another day
I walk alone collecting my thoughts
that have gone astray

all of the memories, all of the dreams
still remains entwined
all that we've heard, and all that we've known
forgotten by your mind

I only wanted someone to believe in
oh but your words they're seldom found
cause when it comes to the problems
that were meant to be shared
you were not around

oh but you plead with me now
you always stay
you'll give it in one breath then
you'll take it all away

what is this love
that holds me captive in your eyes
well I wish I had the strength
to leave it all behind
what's done is done
and you do not give a damn
just another heartfelt blow
by your careless hand

I never thought in my life I could feel so much pain
trusting in your kind
I never thought I could feel so alone
faith in love so blind
But after all is said and done
the song remains the same
you please yourself and nobody else
will you ever change?

oh but you plead with me now
you always stay
you'll give it in one breath then
you'll take it all away

what is this love
that holds me captive in your eyes
well I wish I had the strength
to leave it all behind
what's done is done
and you do not give a damn
just another heartfelt blow
by your careless hands
