[Verse 1]
I locked the door and broke the key
Built this prison cell for me
The world outside is raging on
So I will be hiding away
I will be hiding away

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, I want to, but won't say a word
'Cause I know how you feel and how it hurts

[Chorus]
Cut me loose, cut me loose
These bonds you cannot see are paralyzing me
Cut me loose from me

[Verse 2]
I've always been this type of fool
But so much worse when it is you
I feel like I've been put in chains
And no one can set me free
Nobody else but me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, I want to, but I won't open up
'Cause tonight I'm just not strong enough
[Chorus]
Cut me loose, cut me loose
These bonds you cannot see are paralyzing me
Cut me loose from me
I need to break free, yeah

[Bridge]
Cut me loose

[Chorus]
Cut me loose, cut me loose
These bonds you cannot see
Cut 'em off so I can be free
Cut me loose from me
