I am not yours Bleeding on your dancefloors Gather around the spectacle Hanging from a string And are you so tired As you tremble on the high wire? Ready now to come down But no one's listening
I'm drowning in your waves 'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for Or a horse that you can break Oh I am not something to be fenced in In case I run away I am not a sideshow in your circus Or a trophy on your shelf 'Cause I don't belong to you No, I don't belong to you Or anyone else
Is this a hell of my own making Or a castle in the sky? Is this fruit here for the taking Or forbidden? Tell me why To these shadows I might break down To the walls I will confide Will you watch this building burn Or will you run into the fire?
I'm drowning in your waves 'Cause I am not a prize that you compete for Or a horse that you can break I am not something to be fenced in In case I run away I am not a sideshow in your circus Or a trophy on your shelf 'Cause I don't belong to you No, I don't belong to you Or anyone else Oh-oh, oh-oh Or anyone else Oh-oh, oh-oh
Bathed in light, we come alive Slow motion coming back around Like oceans, breaking down
I am not a prize that you compete for Or a horse that you can break I am not something to be fenced in In case I run away I am not a sideshow in your circus Or a trophy on your shelf 'Cause I don't belong to you No, I don't belong to you Or anyone else Or anyone else
