Break These Chains

Break these chains around my heart
Cut me loose and set me free
I can't stand to live my life
Bound to your memory

The 'phone rings, it's three in the morning
Who else could it be?
You're gone, but you try to keep it going
That's the last thing I need
Forever is over
Now it's up to me

To break these chains
If I'm ever gonna love again
(Break these chains.)
I'm gonna say goodbye and let it end
(These chains.)
My heart is tellin' me
If I'm gonna be free:
I gotta break these chains

It's time to put away your picture
Take your pillow from my bed
I'm still bound to you, baby
But with every step
I'm gettin' stronger
And I won't bend

I gotta break these chains
If I'm ever gonna love again
(Break these chains.)
I gotta say goodbye and let it end
(These chains.)
My heart is tellin' me
If I'm gonna be free:
I gotta break these chains

Change, everybody changes;
Gonna have to be the one to break these chains
Change, everybody changes;
Gonna have to walk away and break these chains

Instrumental break

Forever is over
Now it's up to me

To break these chains
If I'm ever gonna love again
(Break these chains.)
I'm gonna say goodbye and let it end
(These chains.)
My heart is tellin' me
If I'm gonna be free:
I gotta break these chains

Change, everybody changes;
Gonna have to be the one to break these chains
Change, everybody changes;
Gonna have to walk away and break these chains
