Hostage in your heart
With the curtains drawn like black metal
Broken from the start
But you never let the dust settle
Lying in the dark
In my dreams darling you could see for miles
And I will be in pain
I wish you could love yourself better
Scratch it off in vain
You're your own d**n worst offender
Might as well take aim
In my dreams though you could see for miles
Yeah you could see for miles
Yeah you could see for miles
And I won't ever know
How it feels to have your illness
All that room to grow
But you just can't bear to fill it
I would die to wake you up
To the fact that you do stretch for miles
And yes I am aware now
That I'm not the person to blame
But the only culprit I can think of
Lives in a picture frame
So even if my prayers made it to heaven
Straight to the ivory gates
I know your mother would be there smiling
And she would sing the same
She'd wish that you could see for miles
'Cause she can see for miles
You can see for miles
Yeah you can see for miles
