Ransom
Morgan James Lyrics

Looking out the window of an empty room
Feeling lost and alone, with no sense of direction or time.

Don't know where I am, or how long I've been gone
Feeling completely disoriented and unaware of how much time has passed.

Listening to nothing but the sound of my breathing
Feeling isolated and only aware of one's own presence.

And my tears that hit the floor now I'm alone
Feeling sadness and emptiness, with tears as the only physical evidence of emotion.

You're the one that told me to surrender
Being advised to give up and submit to someone's will.

Lay down my weapons and I met your demands
Choosing to let go of defenses and comply with the expectations set by someone else.

And I gave up and I gave you everything
Sacrificing oneself entirely, offering all that one has.

Laid out my heart in your hands
Exposed vulnerability and trusted someone else with one's deepest emotions.

And I paid, I paid, I paid
Enduring the consequences of one's actions or choices.

But you killed me anyway
Experiencing a figurative death or complete destruction despite the efforts made.

Nothing I could ever do could keep you satisfied
Feeling powerless and incapable of meeting someone else's expectations.

I told you I would pay it all if you named the price
Promising to give everything in return for the fulfillment of someone else's desires or demands.

But all the money in the world can't show you my worth
Realizing that material possessions or wealth cannot truly demonstrate one's value.

But I spent it all so I could survive
Using up all available resources and energy in order to endure or persevere.

I gave, I gave, I gave and I gave
Continuously providing and offering without expecting much in return.

But you take, take it all away
Having everything taken away or exploited by someone else.

Looking out the window with an empty heart
Feeling emotionally hollow and void.

Don't know where I am, but I know I'm alone
Feeling disconnected from one's surroundings and certain of being alone.

Used to be that I was living for you
Previously finding purpose and motivation in someone else's existence.

But now I'm dying here now that you're gone
Experiencing immense pain and suffering due to the absence of someone who once defined one's life.

'Cause I paid, I paid, I paid
Continuing to face the consequences and burdens of one's actions.

But you killed me baby
Feeling emotionally destroyed or devastated by someone's actions.

I paid, I paid, I paid and I paid
Enduring the costs and sacrifices without achieving the desired outcome.

And I paid, and I paid
Continuing to suffer the consequences without respite.

I paid, I, I paid
Facing the repercussions alone with no relief or support.

But you killed me anyway
Experiencing complete devastation and emotional destruction despite all efforts made.
