Love Takes Prisoners

It seems so easy in the movies
The tears are never real
And if the hero has a broke heart
You know that it will heal
By the end of the reel
But in real life
You can’t take chances
You’re only safe
In those scripted romances

Love takes prisoners
(whoa oh oh oh)
Steals their very soul
Some are willing
Some are weak
None are ever free to go
Love takes prisoners
(whoa oh oh oh)

There could be hidden complications
You can’t forsee
Don’t make a move until you’re certain
You can break free
If it all goes wrong
I don’t wanna deter you from trying
Just be sure that you don’t end up crying

REPEAT CHORUS

Love takes prisoners
And never lets them go
Some get hurt trying to escape
Now they’re laying low
The higher you get on love
The further you have to fall
Some people play it safe
And never give their hearts at all

REPEAT CHORUS
