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
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long,
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Don't ask me why… why I've lived with this all alone,
Locked up inside… and it's cutting me to the bone,
Love is a stranger avoiding me,
Beware of danger's the only sign I see
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long,
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
Are you listening… is there something that you'd like to say?
Am I getting through… are you just gonna leave me this way?
Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart
Before it tears me in two,
You've got to break these chains around my heart,
That's all I'm asking of you,
You've got to break these chains around my heart
Cause I've been lonely too long,
You've got to break these chains around my heart
So I can finally get on with my life
