Captive Lyrics by Kalimah

Chess

0

I feel like I need a good lesson in perception
It seems like maybe you’re becoming my reflection
I can’t even breath around you
It’s intoxicating
I never felt a love so intense
Maybe I’m suffocating
(Mmm)
You take me to the rooftop and tell me I should fly
I’m not sure I can if you’re not by my side

Captivated
Captive or captivated?
Captive or captivated?
Captive or captivated?

Baby our love’s been a little toxic lately
I’m wondering if we’ve tried too many timеs
To make something work that started on a comforting liе
Yet I want to stay I need to stay
I can’t make it I think I’ll break
Got separation anxiety
Stuck in this prison on a hand hold
You tell me to live for you
I guess I’ve always done what I’m told

Maybe I’m captivated or maybe I’m captive to you
I think there’s much more out there
But I don’t even trust my thoughts to be true
I’m sitting on the rooftop, wishing I could fly
But I’m afraid to try

Captivated
Captive or captivated?
Captive or captivated?
Captive or captivated?

(Captive)

You’ve given me a reason to stay and it’s been enthralling
Leaving you could break me, but am I missing my calling?
When will I learn?
When will I fly?
Will I leave your side?
