Ransom

Music and Lyrics by Morgan James and Doug Wamble

Looking out the window of an empty room

Don’t know where I am or how long I been gone

Listening to nothing but the sound of my breathing

And the tears that hit the floor cause I’m alone

You’re the one that told me to surrender

Laid down my weapons and I met your demands

Then I gave up and I gave you everything

Laid down my heart in your hands

I paid I paid I paid

But you killed me anyway

Nothing I could do would keep you satisfied

I told you I would pay it all if you name the price

All the money in the world can’t show you my worth

But I spent it all so I could survive

I paid I paid I paid

But you killed me anyway

I gave I gave I gave

But you take it all away

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 I’m dying here now that you’re gone
