The Unscripted lyrics

1 Under Your Spell
La vie en rose
You Play, I Pose / Pause
The script starts well

2 Under Your Thumb
I found a roof
I found the proof
That I belonged

Chorus: It was always going to be hard to let go
And I found myself looking up for a nod
It was always going to be hard to let go
But I had to resume this interrupted growth

3 Under  Your Thumb
I found a roof
I found the proof
That I belonged

4 On a tight leash
I felt so safe
I guess the chafe
Means I exist

Chorus: It was always going to be hard to let go
And I found myself craving the burn of your hold
It was always going to be hard to let go
But I had to resume this interrupted growth

Bridge (aah)

5 On a tight leash
I felt so safe
I guess the chafe
Means I exist

6 From the first drop
To the last breath
Till parts us death
I would have given it all

Chorus: It was always going to be hard to let go
And I found myself licking the salt off my wound
It was always going to be hard to let go
But I had to interrupt your growth
