Break the Chain Lyrics
Cold hand surrounds me
I feel the walls around me closing in
And my chest is getting tighter
Cold winds are blowing on
What you left hanging in the air
And your words are getting louder
She said
Sorry but you're never gonna dance again
But my feet just keeps me moving
Trying to break the chain
And I feel like running, and I feel no pain
I feel like running
When I'm lost within my frame
Sharp tongues cut the air
And melt into rain
When it falls on my hand
Is it 'cause I'm gettin' wiser
Far from the ski slope
I feel the earth come running over me
And I feel a little lighter
She said
Sorry but you're never gonna dance again
But my feet just keeps me moving
Trying to break the chain
And I feel like running, and I feel no pain
I feel like running
When I'm lost within my frame
She said
Sorry but you're never gonna dance again
But my feet just keeps me moving
Trying to break the chain
And I feel like running, and I feel no pain
I feel like running
When I'm lost within my frame
