[Verse 1]
Why am I chained to a memory?
Why does the thought of you still torture me?
When will I find someone to set me free?
So I won't be chained to a memory

[Verse 2]
Why am I chained to the hurt I knew?
Each day the thought of something so cruel to do
Where in this world will I escape from you?
So I won't be chained to a memory

[Bridge]
Your letters, threw them on my fire
Your pictures out the window
All that I could find that reminded me of you
I threw them all away

[Verse 3]
I get up in the morning, 0I'm pacing the floor
Like I'm expecting you to walk in the door
I keep forgetting I won't see you anymore
Guess I'm doomed to be chained to a memory

[Outro]
Oh, yes, I am
I get up in the morning, I'm pacing the floor
Like I'm expecting you to walk in the door
I keep forgetting I won't see you anymore
Guess I'm doomed to be chained to a memory
Yes, I am
