Heart's for Ransom Lyrics

I could scream your name from the rooftop

Stand with a boombox in front of your house

I could swim through a lake of fire for you

And none of it would even count

I could uncover the secrets of Egypt

Return Atlantis from down below

I could give you everything that you've wished!

And you'd still choose to let me go

Is it my love, would you say that's so foreign?

Why I've only been enough for a moment?

I'm tired of lovers leaving and making a fool out of me

Showing up broken for all my friends

And my family to see

Hey, hey!

I said I loved you

Wish I didn't need you but

I've bared my soul, I just wish it was with someone I trust

Thank god I haven't lost my resolve

Haven't got lost in the thrill of it all

The thrill of it all

Thrill of it all

Thrill of it all

Thrill of it all

I know I'd said I'd be mature about it

But the high road's been hard to climb

My heart's been broken a million times

Is an honest lover that hard to find?

Is it my love, would you say that's so foreign?

Why I've only been enough for a moment?

I'm tired of lovers leaving and making a fool out of me

Showing up broken for all my friends

And my family to see

Hey, hey!

My heart's for ransom

Bring your songbook

Even if your handsome

There's some things I can't overlook

I want your heart 'cause you'll have mine

Is it really wasting time

Searching for someone to love

With this jaded heart of mine?

(Mine, mine, mine, mine)

(Jaded heart of mine)
