Below, you will find the lyrics for Prisoner by James Arthur.
Verse 1
If i'm underneath the table
Then pour me another drink
I don't want to remember
I don't even want to think
I'm a slave to my addiction
I'm a hazard to myself
On a fast track to perdition
I'm heading straight to hell
Chorus 1
When i throw up out your window
You should confiscate my key
I will drive you up the fucking wall
Is it too late to believe
I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains around my neck
Like a prisoner
I just want to love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or i'm a condemned prisoner
Verse 2
I was stood there in the spotlight
With this city at my feet
But i was a dead man walking
Nothing ever comes for free
So i moved on down to london
Where i traded in my soul
I could not fill my heart
With all those one night stands and gold
Chorus 2
So throw me out your mom's house
I've been living there too long
Well she never liked me anyway
Cause she knows i'm northern scum
I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains around my neck
Like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or i'm a condemned prisoner
Bridge
I think my minds on the blink
So i get high, so high and i drink
I suffered enough of the heart palps when i think
Discovered it up at the bar 9 drinks in
Now i'm at the disco, convinced the girls think i'm the bizzo
Course i'm on the brink
Looking at me funny then course i'm gonna swing
Karaoke? course i wanna sing
Or pour me another drink
It always ends the same
Or i'm a condemned prisoner
Chorus 3
I tried so hard to change
But the devil locked my door
I wear these heavy chains around my neck
Like a prisoner
I just wanna love
But he won't let me go
Loosen up my chains
Or i'm a condemned prisoner
