Chains Around My Heart

Richard Marx · Rush Street

Out of my sight
But the vision is still the same
Out of my mind
But the memory remains unchanged
Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt
Return to sender could only make things worse

Chorus
Girl, youÂ’ve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause IÂ’ve been lonely too long
YouÂ’ve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life

DonÂ’t ask me why
Why IÂ’ve lived with this all alone
Locked up inside
And itÂ’s cutting me to the bone
Love is a stranger avoiding me
Beware of dangerÂ’s the only sign I see

Chorus

Are you listening
Is there something that youÂ’d like to say
Am I getting through
Are you just gonna leave me this way

Girl youÂ’ve got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two
YouÂ’ve got to break these chains around my heart
ThatÂ’s all I am asking of you
YouÂ’ve got to break these chains around my heart
Cause IÂ’ve been lonely too long
YouÂ’ve got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
