Lyrics[]
[Intro: Miley Cyrus]
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
[Verse 1: Dua Lipa & Miley Cyrus]
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)
[Pre-Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
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 just let me go?
[Chorus: Dua Lipa & Miley Cyrus]
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
Why can't you, why can't you just 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-woah
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
[Verse 2: Miley Cyrus]
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)
[Pre-Chorus: Dua Lipa & Miley Cyrus]
You keep making it harder to stay (Oh, ah)
But I still can't run away
I gotta know, why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus & Dua Lipa]
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
Prisoner, prisoner
Locked up, can't get you off my mind, off my mind (Off my mind)
Lord knows I tried a million times, million times, oh-woah
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
[Outro: Miley Cyrus & Dua Lipa]
Can't get you off my mind
Why can't you just let me go?
Million times
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?

Strung out on a feeling, your hands are tied
My face on your ceiling, you fantasize

You’ll never escape it, you need the high
Oh, you can't control it, you can't control it (Can't control it , oh)

You said that it was harder to stay
But you still can't run away
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let me go?

Caught up in what you left behind, left behind
Lord knows you tried a million timеs, million times, oh-woah
Why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
[Verse 2]
You tastеd Heaven, now you can't live without it
I can't forget me where my love is the loudest
Oh, I can't control it, I can't control it (Can't control it)
[Pre-Chorus]
You said that it was harder to stay (Hard)
But you still can't run away
I gotta know why can't you, why can't you just let me go?
