[Verse]
If you need so
mebody, call m
y name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
[Chorus] x2
If you love so
mebody
If you love so
meone
If you love so
mebody
If you love so
meone
set them free
If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be
[Bridge]
You can't cont
rol an indepen
dent heart
Can't tear the
one you love
apart
Forever condit
ioned to belie
ve that we can
't live
We can't live
here and be ha
ppy with less
So many riches
, so many soul
s
Everything we
see we want to
possess

You got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possession

If you love so

If you love so

If you love so

Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
