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
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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's the only sign I see
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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 am 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
|
