Hostage
When I first came here
I was on my own
Then one day you showed up
And made yourself at home
And you set things in motion
For soon I was surrounded by
Better friends than I could dream up
Or mad science could design
So don't think I've forgotten
After all this time
You are the one responsible for every good thing in my life
But then I saw you gunned down
I wish they had taken me instead
I've got to act now
I won't accept the fate you've met
So I will travel through time to rescue you
If it takes forever
Because I know there is a world you make it through
Free from my error
If I must watch you die a hundred times
To watch you live a normal life
Then it's worth it
No you can't leave me yet
You're still my hostage
But then I saw you cut down
I've seen it over and over again
It's at the point now
That I feel no emotion
Then I let someone help me
A friend I met because of you
And suddenly I'm hopeful
There is a way I can undo
The path I set us on when we first shifted lines
I swear I'll fix my mistakes if it takes me the rest of my life
You know that I will travel through time to rescue you
If it takes forever
Because I know there is a world we make it through
Free from my error
If I must watch you die a thousand times
To watch you live a normal life
Then it's worth it
I'll keep going back again
And again and again
Though for you it's just been days it's been a lifetime for me
Of watching the light draining from your eyes
I've got to break this loop I am in
So I will travel through time to rescue you
If it takes forever
Til I get back to the world that we once knew
Before the nightmares
Through all the lines I've crossed to make this right
Your smile has always been my light
I will not give in until you're allowed to live
And on that day, you can live your life having stood the test of time
And you'll be my hostage
I was on my own
Then one day you showed up
And made yourself at home
And you set things in motion
For soon I was surrounded by
Better friends than I could dream up
Or mad science could design
So don't think I've forgotten
After all this time
You are the one responsible for every good thing in my life
But then I saw you gunned down
I wish they had taken me instead
I've got to act now
I won't accept the fate you've met
So I will travel through time to rescue you
If it takes forever
Because I know there is a world you make it through
Free from my error
If I must watch you die a hundred times
To watch you live a normal life
Then it's worth it
No you can't leave me yet
You're still my hostage
But then I saw you cut down
I've seen it over and over again
It's at the point now

And on that day, you can live your life having stood the test of time
And you'll be my hostage
