The partner was given an out, a chance to leave the relationship before all these unhealthy feelings and thoughts towards them developed. He’s always opening up chances for direct communication and it seems he might be tired of it at this point
[Verse 1]
I watched you breathe in and I wished you'd stop
Only for long enough, long enough
Hard to say, separate or combine
I ask you one last time, one last time, yeah
[Bridge]
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?
Enough light in
Oh
Oh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
If a feeling appears, if your mind should sway
It's not a secret you should keep
You know I won't let you slip away
'Cause
[Pre-Chorus]
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss?
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss?
Ooh
Is it something you miss?
Oh
[Chorus]
Winged or chained?
I ask you, would you have stayed?
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in, light in?
Winged or chained?
I ask you, would you have stayed?
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in, light in?
[Outro]
Oh
Oh
Winged or, winged or chained, chained, chained, chained?
Winged or, winged or chained, chained, chained, chained?
