[Verse 1] I spent years standing in doorways Never letting people in Always finding good excuses For the distance that I’d keep I wore caution like a uniform You could see it in the way I’d speak Funny how the heart gets lonely Trying so hard not to need [Pre-Chorus] If I’d known where this was leading I might have stopped fighting from the start Before I got too good at running [Chorus] A prisoner of love tonight Caught somewhere between surrender and relief Like every road I took to get away Was only bringing me to you Now I look at what remains The open doors, the scattered chains And wonder when the walls came down I never heard them fall [Verse 2] I had rules for every feeling Lines I swore I’d never cross But somewhere in the small things I stopped keeping score of what I’d lost The way you laugh across a room The way you reach for my hand I don’t remember making the decision Just slowly changing where I stand [Chorus] A prisoner of love tonight Caught somewhere between surrender and relief Like every road I took to get away Was only bringing me to you Now I look at what remains The open doors, the scattered chains And wonder when the walls came down I never heard them fall [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Nobody tells you that healing Can feel a little like defeat That the things you’ve spent years protecting Can disappear so quietly No crash, no grand confession No lightning from above Just one day looking at somebody And realising this is love [Final Chorus] A prisoner of love tonight And for the first time I don’t want to leave All the locks I thought I needed Mean less than they ever did The armour, the excuses The distance and the doubt They’re still part of who I’ve been But they don’t own me now [Outro] To all the walls I built for safety That are standing here no more I never thought I’d be so grateful To be a prisoner of love tonight © 2026 Project ∞X.
