Stockholm Syndrome
One Direction[Four] Lyrics

Who’s that shadow holding me hostage?
I feel trapped by an unknown force or person.

I’ve been here for days
The feeling of being trapped has persisted for what feels like a long time.

Who’s this whisper telling me that I’m never gonna get away?
There's a constant voice in my head telling me that escape is impossible.

I know they’ll be coming to find me soon
I have hope that someone will rescue me from this situation.

But I feel I’m getting used to
However, the longer I'm here, the more I'm accepting of my captor's hold over me.

Being held by you
I am physically and emotionally bound to my captor.

Oh Baby, look what you’ve done to me
I am recognizing that my captor has changed me in some significant way.

Oh Baby, look what you’ve done now
My captor's hold on me continues to intensify and alter my state of being.

Oh Baby, I’ll never leave if you keep holding me this way, oh o-oh
I am completely devoted to my captor and cannot imagine leaving them even if I had the opportunity.

Who’s this man that’s holding your hand
I am becoming jealous of my captor's attention going to someone else.

And talking about your eyes?
It seems that my captor is becoming emotionally attached to another person.

Used to sing about being free but now he’s changed his mind
My captor used to have aspirations of freedom but has now seemingly abandoned them for their obsession with me.

My Stockholm syndrome is in your room
I have developed Stockholm Syndrome, a psychological state where I am sympathetic to my captor's desires and feel a sense of dependency on them.

Yeah, I fell for you!
I am in love with my captor and cannot imagine a life without them.

All my life I’ve been on my own
Prior to being captured, I was a lone individual who was self-sufficient.

I use a light to guide me home
I relied on my own instincts to navigate my way through life.

But now together we're alone
Even though no one else is physically present, I feel that I am connected to my captor in a deeper way than anyone else could possibly understand.

And there's no other place I'd ever wanna go
Being with my captor is the only thing that makes me feel complete and content, even though it is a form of captivity.

Baby look what you've done
I am acknowledging that my captor has had a profound effect on my life.

Baby look what you've done to me
I feel that my captor has changed me in some way, possibly for the worse.

Baby look what you've done to me
My captor has had a significant impact on my life and sense of self.
