The Bastille

The Bastille


I held it close to me like I've always done
Trying to play a song that explains my pain
I searched but tonight I just couldn't find one
And outside there's not a single drop of rain

Why is this night so different from the rest
I've spent so many nights feeling so blue
It's nights like that I can always sing my best
Now the only song I want to hear is about you

A prisoner of my heart again
Haunted by that song again

I thought I let it go
The love you didn't want
I thought it was gone
This unrequited love

But tonight with this guitar in my hand
I feel those chains around my heart

I could drive by the place I first saw your eyes
Like the thousand times I've done so in the past
With my lonely heart telling me all those little lies
But you're not there and I'll drive home an outcast

I could walk the streets looking up at the moon
Whisper your name and pray with all my might
I could think about the night that ended too soon
But that won't change a single thing here tonight

A prisoner of my heart again
Haunted by that song again

I thought I let it go
The love you didn't want
I thought it was gone
This unrequited love

But tonight with this guitar in my hand
I feel those chains around my heart
