I move away it don't do me no good Three thousand miles don't help like I thought it would. Help me, I'm beggin' you please. You've got the power down on my knees Give me some kind of life. Leave me be. Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Reach out to me, as if from the grave I tried to run but I'm tied to you like a slave. It's my fault for loving you so You were so precious, how could I know. You turned mean overnight Poor poor me. Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart I don't owe you anything Why don't you get out of my life. Through it all the memories cling And I can't sleep at night. Help me, I'm beggin' you please. You've got the power down on my knees Give me some kind of life. Leave me be. Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart Take these chains off Take 'em off of my heart

There's a madman in the corner of your eye He likes to pry into your sunlight He wants to burst into the street with you and I A world of shadows and rain He's seen what love is He wants to pay you back with guilt He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your Chains of Misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your Chains of Misery, yeah! He's got your Chains of Misery There's a prophet in the gutter in the street He says: "You're damned!" And you believe him He's got a vision but it shines out through your eyes A world of hatred and fear He smelt what love means He wants to pay you back with pain He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your Chains of Misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your Chains of Misery He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your Chains of Misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your Chains of Misery It's only love that holds the key to your heart It's only love He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your Chains of Misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your Chains of Misery He lies to you he won't let you be He's got your Chains of Misery He won't be still till he's turned your key He holds your Chains of Misery He's got your Chains of Misery

I should've seen all the signs all around me But I was comfortable inside these walls So go ahead and take another piece of me now While we all bow down to you You tear me down and then you pick me up You take it all and still it's not enough You try to tell me you can heal me But I'm still bleeding and you'll be the death of me How can you help my affliction If you're the sickness and not the cure? Too long I've faked this addiction Another sacrifice to make us pure You tear me down and then you pick me up You take it all and still it's not enough You try to tell me you can heal me But I'm still bleeding and you'll be the death of me You tear me down and then you pick me up You take it all and still it's not enough You try to tell me you can heal me But I'm still bleeding and you'll be the death of me I won't forget, I cannot forget this I won't forget, I'll never forget this I won't forget, I cannot forget this I won't forget, I'll never forget this I won't forget, I cannot forget this I won't forget, I'll never forget this I won't forget, I cannot forget this I won't forget, I'll never forget I know I can never prove this illusion You aren't the one that I thought you were And so I learned to embrace this delusion The line that separates us starts to blur You tear me down and then you pick me up You take it all and still it's not enough You try to tell me you can heal me But I'm still bleeding and you'll be the death of me And you'll be the death of me I won't forget, I cannot forget this And you'll be the death of me

Enemy, familiar friend My beginning and my end Knowing truth, whispering lies And it hurts again What I fear and what I try The words I say and what I hide All the pain, I want it to end But I want it again And it finds me The fight inside is coursing through my veins And it's raging The fight inside is breaking me again Still the same, pursuing pain Is it worth all I have gained? We both know how this will end But I do it again And it finds me The fight inside is coursing through my veins And it's raging The fight inside is hurting me again And it finds me The war within me pulls me under And without you The fight inside is breaking me again It's nothing (It's everything) It's nothing (It's everything) It's nothing (It's everything) It's nothing, it's everything And it finds me The fight inside is coursing through my veins And it's raging The fight inside is hurting me again And it finds me The war within me pulls me under And without you The fight inside is breaking me again It's breaking me It's breaking me I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart

My eyes have adjusted to dark And so has my heart The weight of the world has covered me I'm in over my head Am I living or dead? Can anyone hear me calling out? I'm calling out I'm finally breaking So where are you now? It's been such a long time That I've tried to live without I'm suffocating I need you to breathe So reach down and pull me up Pull me out before I am buried beneath I built this house on the shore All I wanted was more Then I felt the sand start shifting I saw the cracks in the walls I painted over them all I tried my best to just ignore I can't ignore I'm finally breaking So where are you now? It's been such a long time That I've tried to live without I'm suffocating I need you to breathe So reach down and pull me up Pull me out before I am buried beneath I thought I was climbing out But it's dragging me down What's hidden here with me? Thought I was alone But it pulls me deeper now I can't escape I'm finally breaking So where are you now? It's been such a long time That I've tried to live without I'm suffocating I need you to breathe So reach down and pull me up Pull me out before I am buried beneath
