My Prisoner (Song Lyric)

prisoner
It doesn’t matter what roads you take
Or what decisions you make
I don’t care if you run and find a place to hide.
Wherever you stop, I’ll be there
I’ll be with you everywhere
It won’t matter if there’s someone else at your side.

You’re my prisoner I’ll never set you free
I won’t forgive or forget what you’ve done to me
Here’s a lifetime guarantee
You’ll never be rid of me

I’ll be a mountain you’ll always have to climb
A nagging doubt you’ll have in your mind
A whisper from the distance but I’ll be out of sight
I’ll be a padlock on your every door
An icy blast when you need to be warm
That howling wind, in the middle of a stormy night.

You’re my prisoner etc

I’ll be a spectre in your head
A spirit in you’re bed
A ghost on each corner of your life
I’ll be behind you in the dark
Wherever you are
I won’t wipe your blood from my knife

I’ll be a worry that grinds you down
I’ll be that song that goes around and around
A curse on your being, right now you can’t believe is real
So when you’re laughing with your new found friends
And watching sunsets at a journey’s end
I’ll be with you like a sore that just won’t heal

You’re my prisoner etc,

ANSWER SONG: “UNBOUND”

V1

You followed me in silence, thought I wouldn’t hear

Your voice like a ghost in my rear-view mirror

You called it love, but it looked like fear

Now I’m walking clear, I’m walking clear

V2

You painted me in shadows, trapped me in rhyme

Thought your memory would echo through all my time

But I don’t owe you pain, I don’t owe you my mind

What you lost wasn’t yours to find

CHORUS

I’m unbound, I’ve broken the spell

No more chains in the stories you tell

You can haunt every verse, every scream, every sound—

But I won’t be your prisoner

I’m unbound

V3

I’ve learned the shape of silence, slept with the dread

But I got louder while you whispered in my head

You thought I’d stay stitched inside your thread

But I’ve cut the cord. You’re gone. I’ve fled.

CHORUS

I’m unbound, I’ve broken the spell

No more chains in the stories you tell

You can haunt every verse, every scream, every sound—

But I won’t be your prisoner

I’m unbound

BRIDGE

No more shadow play behind my eyes

No more thorns in the sweet disguise

I sing now with no trace of fear

I’ve burned the page. You’re not here.

FINAL CHORUS

I’m unbound, free in my skin

The storm may rise, but it won’t get in

You can echo through time, but I won’t turn around—

You lost your grip

I’m skyward now

Unbound.
