lyrics

WOULD YOU HANG ON TO
SOMETHING YOU CAN’T DESERT?
OR WRITE IT OFF AS
MORE TROUBLE THAN IT’S WORTH?

A FLEETING THOUGHT I
DO ADMIT
A POTENT POISON,
DISTINCT

BECAUSE, HONESTLY, IT

HITS ME CLOSE TO HOME
IS IT REALLY LOVE OR STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?

WOULD YOU CARRY ON,
ENDURE THIS ENDLESS ROAD?
OR WOULD YOU STEP ASIDE
AND ENJOY THE SHOW?

A TEMPTING OFFER,
AN OFF SWITCH
IGNORED UNTIL I
CURE THIS ITCH

THE ONLY THING WHICH

HITS ME CLOSE TO HOME
IS IT REALLY LOVE OR …
OUT OF MY CONTROL?
IS IT REALLY LOVE OR STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?

JUST WHAT HAVE I SACRIFICED UP TO NOW?
SOMEHOW
IT AMOUNTS TO NOTHING IN MY OWN EYES
IN MY MIND
I RECALL FEELING SATISFIED WITH MUCH LESS
WHAT A MESS
THE BELIEF, THAT THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULDN’T MISS
I NEED THIS

A BONA FIDE
SANCTIMONIOUS
SENSE OF PRIDE
HANGING UNTO THIS

GLORIFIED
AND OH SO OBVIOUS
HOLE INSIDE
DISGUISED AS AVARICE

YOU’VE EARNED
MY ADMIRATION
YOU LIVE
CONVICTION FREE

YOU’VE ALLOWED
THAT FLEETING THOUGHT
TO TAKE HOLD
BUT NOT ME
