Breaking The Chains Lyrics

[00:17.57] Sit there thinkin'
[00:19.12] In your room
[00:21.01] You feel the pressure
[00:22.68] You're goin' crazy too
[00:25.04] The walls around you
[00:26.68] Closin' in
[00:28.77] You need a change
[00:32.60] Claustophobic
[00:34.29] Feelin' scared
[00:36.13] You need somebody
[00:37.93] But no one seems to care
[00:40.12] A one way ticket
[00:41.96] A change of pace
[00:43.61] You've had enough
[00:45.37] Can't take no more
[00:50.41] Breaking the chains around you
[00:54.21] Nobody else can bind you
[00:58.20] Take a good look around you
[01:01.13] Now you're breaking the chains
[01:05.24]
[01:12.73] Got this letter
[01:14.76] Came today
[01:16.80] From my baby
[01:18.45] Who left me yesterday
[01:20.72] Said she loves me
[01:22.29] She'll come back
[01:24.21] She wants to try
[01:28.49] I won't let her
[01:30.13] She'll be upset
[01:32.17] I know it's better
[01:33.77] Than somethin' I'll regret
[01:36.12] She'd been dishonest
[01:38.09] And insincere
[01:39.69] I lost my mind
[01:41.44] 20 times a year
[01:46.44] Breaking the chains around me
[01:50.36] Nobody else can bind me
[01:54.09] Take a good look around me
[01:56.85] Now I'm breaking the chains
[02:01.25]
[02:47.16] Woke up today
[02:48.92] I'm alone
[02:50.81] I look around
[02:52.29] But baby you were gone
[02:54.36] But I don't mind
[02:55.97] And I don't worry
[02:58.29] I will survive
[03:02.25] I'm alone
[03:04.01] Now that you're gone
[03:06.04] Don't need nobody
[03:07.56] To hold or tie me down
[03:10.01] I broke the chains
[03:11.69] So let me be
[03:13.56] I've gotta be free
[03:19.32]
[03:20.12] Breaking the chains around me
[03:24.12] Nobody else can bind me
[03:27.68] Take a good look around me
[03:30.82] Now I'm breaking the chains
[03:35.37] Breaking the chains around me
[03:39.32] Nobody else can bind me
[03:42.81] Take a good look around me
[03:46.13] Now I'm breaking the chains
[03:49.80]
