You're Not a Prisoner

You tell me every passing moment you can hear the sound
Of imaginary shackles that are holding you down
And you swear you hear the cell door slam
If it’s hard for you to understand
Just turn around and walk away
You’re not a prisoner
You are free to run
Stake out the lonely night
Looking for someone
You’re not a prisoner
But I know where you’re coming from
We are both imprisoned here
You’re not the only one
You know I used to love you madly, now you bring me down
The way you listen to the rumors all over town
And your friends, they love to fan the flames
Make the most of all those whisper games
If you believe them, throw open the door
You’re not a prisoner
You are free to run
Stake out the lonely night
Looking for someone
You’re not a prisoner
But I know where you’re coming from
We are both imprisoned here
You’re not the only one
I can hear the chimes of freedom
Ringing in the wind tonight
All your troubles, I don’t need ‘em
Doubts and worry gone in a hurry
I don’t need your aggravation
Angry words, incriminations
So don’t even try
Baby, just kiss it goodbye
(x2) You’re not a prisoner
You are free to run
Stake out the lonely night
Looking for someone
You’re not a prisoner
But I know where you’re coming from
We are both imprisoned here
You’re not the only one
