The Captive Lyrics

I'd like to say that I can 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 just walk away but God and I both know it's not true .

   Someday
I'm bound to be free .

   And I'll be ready for whatever life ensues .

   But for the moment I remain the captive of the human brain .

   That
blew it'self to pieces over you .

Sorry that I put you through the one
thing that we could not do .

Was get along together or apart .

Thankin' you for leavin' me a stronger man 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 lovin' you .....
