The Captive

I'd like to say that I could see
The target of my destiny
And that it guided everything I do

I'd like to think that I could take
A drink of you and walk away
But God and I both know
That it's not true

Someday I'm bound to be free
And I'll be stronger for whatever I've been through
But for the moment I remain
The captive of the human brain
That blew itself to pieces over you

I'm sorry that I put you through
The one thing that we couldn't do
Was get along together, or apart

I'm thanking you for leaving me
Wiser than I used to be
And just a little harder in the heart

Someday I'm bound to be free (you know me)
And I'll be ready for whatever road I choose
But for the moment I remain
The captive of the human brain
That blew itself to pieces over you
