Lyrics

Give yourself up to me, there’s no escape
This house is surrounded by the scene of crime tape
We can sit here for hours in this hot, airless room
Your tears and confessions just can’t come too soon
We know the game’s over
I have you
Give yourself up
To me

Good cop or bad cop, so which one am I?
I’ll first make you smile and then I’ll make you cry
The sample I found on your red velvet dress
It won’t take me too long before you confess
We both know the game’s over
I have you
Give yourself up to me
’Cause there is no excuse
You had the motive, now I have the proof
And we’ll both feel much better if you just tell the truth
To me

Location’s confirmed ‘cause I’ve unlocked your phone
The fingerprints taken are matching your own
The trace of some stranger lies under your nails
And this line of questioning well, it never fails
We both know the game’s over
I have you
Give yourself up
To me
Now I have all the facts
You’re trapped in my web, you’ve been caught in the act
But I’ll still set you free if you’ll only come back
To me

Enough of these stories, enough of your lies
Bearing false witness and fake alibis
I’m closing the book, you’ve been caught in my snare
So just stop pretending that you ever cared
’Cause we know the game’s over
I have you
Give yourself up
Or stay silent ‘cause whatever I say
A crime’s been committed and now you must pay
So give yourself up ‘cause there’s not much time left
Somewhere my soul is fighting for breath
