The sound of his name makes you cry
You just hold down your head and you still don't know why
From all the time and pain you've endured
He still holds the hand, you're sure
You keep a smile on your face
It's all you can do to hide your distaste
For all the words and hurt you've received
He still holds the key, you believe
This Stockholm syndrome is all that you know
You get beat down and strung up, but you can't let it go
Until you finally give up, you're one in the same
But you never shared the name
You never shared the name
The sound of his voice makes you cringe
Your head just looks down as you stay on the fringe
In the time since the past was erased
He's still just the same, a disgrace
So you keep an eye on your heart
But it's just an excuse to not fall apart
In all the years and past you've denied
There's one thing he's missed, you've survived
This Stockholm syndrome is all that you know
You get beat down and strung up, but you can't let it go
Until you finally give up, you're one in the same
But you never shared the name
You never shared the name
Shoots and ladders, it's all just a game
In your head we will play, but it's still such a shame
Energy wasted on things such as these
Is energy wasted to beg on your knees
It's almost like it's a disease
It's almost like a disease
This Stockholm syndrome is all that you know
You get beat down and strung up, but you can't let it go
Until you finally give up, you're one in the same
But you never shared the name
You never shared the name
No you never shared the name
So you're never involved with the blame
