Lyrics The Captive - Kris Kristofferson

The Captive

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 …
