Pretty little hostage

Black car waiting at the corner,

Two men standing by the door.

Everybody knows your last name,

Nobody asks what they’re for.

You walk in smelling like danger,

Blood-red tie and tailored black.

Half the city wants you buried,

I’m the reason you come back.

You put diamonds on my fingers,

Like pretty chains I’ll never break.

Say the whole damn world can have me—

If they’re willing to dig their graves.

You don’t ask where I’ve been,

You already know.

You don’t say you’re jealous,

You just make it show.

And when somebody looks too long,

I see that darkness in your eyes.

God, you’re fucking terrifying—

And I love that you’re mine.

I’m your pretty little hostage,

Your favorite bad decision.

You call it love, I call it obsession,

Either way, I’m your addiction.

Keep your hand around my heart,

Keep the whole world terrified.

You’d burn this city down for me,

And I’d watch it from your side.

You’re possessive.

I’m obsessive.

We’re a beautiful disease.

If loving you’s captivity—

Baby, throw away the key.

There’s a pistol in the nightstand,

There’s a bodyguard downstairs.

There are rumors about your business,

But I’ve learned not to care.

You say, “Tell me who upset you.”

Like you’re asking something sweet.

But I know before tomorrow,

Someone’s begging at your feet.

You bought roses by the hundred,

Had them scattered through my room.

Funny how your love looks gorgeous

When it’s dressed up like my doom.

You tell me no one’s gonna touch me,

No one’s taking what’s “your own.”

And maybe I should hate those words—

Instead, they feel like home.

So check my phone.

Lock the gate.

Tell your men we’re staying late.

You’re the worst thing that’s happened to me—

And my favorite mistake.

I’m your pretty little hostage,

Your favorite bad decision.

You call it love, I call it obsession,

Either way, I’m your addiction.

Keep your hand around my heart,

Keep the whole world terrified.

You’d burn this city down for me,

And I’d watch it from your side.

You’re possessive.

I’m obsessive.

We’re a beautiful disease.

If loving you’s captivity—

Baby, throw away the key.

Tell me I’m yours.

Say it again.

Like a confession.

Like a threat.

Tell me you’d ruin

Anyone who tries.

Tell me there’s nowhere

I could ever hide.

Because I’d never run.

I just like hearing

How far you’d go

To bring me back.

Your enemies know my face now,

My lipstick stains your glass.

I’m sitting at your table

Like a queen among the damned.

Let them whisper that I’m weakness.

Let them think I’m just your prize.

They’ll understand the difference

When they see me by your side.

I learned your little empire.

I learned exactly how you play.

You made me into something wicked—

Now I’m begging you to stay.

I’m your pretty little hostage,

But darling, here’s the twist—

You thought that you possessed me?

Look how tightly you’re possessed.
