"Captive" lyrics - SARAH MCLACHLAN

The streets are dark and empty now
Time for another day
Well 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 had, and all that we've known
Are little 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'll plead with me now
You always stay
You give it one breath then
You're taking it all away

[Chorus:]
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

I never thought in my life I could feel so much pain
Trusting in your kind
I never thought I could feel so alone
A 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'll plead with me now
You always stay
You give it one breath then
You're taking it all away

[Chorus:]
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
