Chains Around My Heart

Out of my sight but the vision is still the same

Out of my mind but the memory remains unchanged

Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt

Return to sender could only make things worse

Girl, you’ve got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I’ve been lonely too long

You’ve got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life

Don’t ask me why, why I’ve lived with this all alone

Locked up inside and it’s cutting me to the bone

Love is a stranger avoiding me

Beware of danger is the only sign I see

Girl, you’ve got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I’ve been lonely too long

You’ve got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life

Are you listening

Is there something that you’d like to say

Am I getting through

Are you just gonna leave me this way

Girl, you’ve got to break these chains around my heart

Before it tears me in two

You’ve got to break these chains around my heart

That’s all I’m asking of you

You’ve got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I’ve been lonely too long

You’ve got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life
