  • What you, what you gon' do?

    Strung out on a feeling, my hands are tied
    Your face on my ceiling, I fantasize
    Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it
    (I can't control it)
    I try to replace it with city lights
    I'll never escape it, I need the high
    Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it
    (Oh)

    You keep makin' it harder to stay
    But I still can't run away
    I gotta know, why can't you, why can't you?
    I wanna know, why can't you, why can't you?
    I wanna know, why can't you, why can't you?
    I gotta know, why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

    Let me go
    Let me
    Let me go

    Prisoner, prisoner
    Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
    Lord knows I tried a million times, million times
    Oh-whoa, why can't you
    Why can't you just let me go?
    Get down, get
    Let me go
    Let me
    Get down, get
    I wanna know, why can't you, why can't you?
    Get down
    Let me, let me
    Prisoner, prisoner
    Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
    Lord knows I tried a million times, million times
    Oh-whoa, why can't you
    Why can't you just let me go?

    Can't get you off my mind
    Why can't you just let me go?
    Million times
    Why can't you
    Why can't you just let me go?

    I tasted heaven, now I can't live without it
    I can't forget you and your love is the loudest
    Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it
    (Can't control it)

    You keep making it harder to stay
    But I still can't run away
    I gotta know, why can't you, why can't you?
    I wanna know, why can't you, why can't you?
    I wanna know, why can't you, why can't you?
    I gotta know, why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

    Let me go
    Why, why, why

    Prisoner, prisoner
    Locked up, can't get you
    Get down, get
    Why, why, why
    Prisoner, prisoner
    Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
    Lord knows I tried a million times, million times
    Oh-whoa, why can't you
    Why can't you just let me go?

    Get
    Let me, let me
    Let me go
    Let me go Writer/s: Alexandra Tamposi, Andrew Wotman, Dua Lipa, Jon Bellion, Jordan K. Johnson, Marcus Lomax, Miley Cyrus, Stefan Johnson
