Ransom Lyrics by Morgan James

Reckless Abandon

2017

[Verse 1]
Looking out the window of an empty room
Don't know where I am, or how long I've been gone
Listening to nothing but the sound of my breathing
And my tears that hit the floor now I'm alone
You're the one that told me to surrender
Lay down my weapons and I met your demands
And I gave up and I gave you everything
Laid out my heart in your hands

[Chorus]
And I paid, I paid, I paid
But you killed me anyway

[Verse 2]
Nothing I could ever do could keep you satisfied
I told you I would pay it all if you named the price
But all the money in the world can't show you my worth
But I spent it all so I could survive

[Chorus]
And I paid, I paid, I paid
I paid, I paid, I paid
But you killed me anyway

[Bridge]
I gave, I gave, I gave and I gave
But you take, take it all away

[Verse 3]
Looking out the window with an empty heart
Don't know where I am, but I know I'm alone
Used to be that I was living for you
But now I'm dying here now that you're gone

[Outro/Chorus]
'Cause I paid, I paid, I paid
But you killed me baby
I paid, I paid, I paid and I paid
And I paid, and I paid
I paid, I, I paid
But you killed me anyway
