[Verse 1]
Lately, I've had something on my mind
You must think I am blind
Make me do just everything, your puppet on a string
Tell me it's just my jealousy, there's nothing there to see
Find you so hard to believe, thinking maybe I should leave
But these chains around my heart have got a hold on me
These chains around my heart are much too strong for me
These chains around my heart won't let me break free

[Verse 2]
Tell me nothing's really changed, evеrything's the same
Why then, do I feel likе a clown whenever you're around?
Sorrow is flooding over me, my life's a misery
Thinking that I shouldn't stay, but I just can't break away
'Cause these chains around my around have got a hold on me
These chains around my heart are much too strong for me
These chains around my heart won't let me break free

[Verse 3]
All these chains, all these chains
These chains, these chains around my heart
Maybe if I close my eyes, everything will be alright
Pretending is what I have to do if I'm to stay with you
Hoping it's just a phase you're going through
I really do need you to hold me, I'm feeling insecure
I can't take this anymore
These chains around my around have got a hold on me
These chains around my heart are much too strong for me
These chains around my heart won't let me break free
Won't let me break free
