So here we are at the end now I need to leave but I only want to stay with you I never asked to be the one to set me free Another mask you wore that only I could see Let me take you when I go, when I go I don't want to do this on my own, on my own I'm breaking free but of these chains, oh, let this one remain Let me take you when I go I can still feel you here now in this cage Every link another piece of you I saved Afraid to open up the door to who I was before And if I let go of these chains now Will I float away? Can I just hold on? Oh let me take you when I go, when I go I don't want to do this on my own, on my own I'm breaking free but of these chains, oh, let this one remain Let me take you when I go

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

You used to be on fire, now you chill me to the bone We used to fly like angels, now we're sinking like a stone You say you're trying to help me but that ain't the way it feels I think you're trying to kill me with those stiletto heels Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing I been stabbed in the back babe And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go Going back to the kingdom of desire Going down to the valley of the gun I'm gonna stand too close to the fire I'm gonna fly too close to the sun They say the king of love sleeps on a velvet bed My sheets feel like sandpaper, and my pillow feels like lead But as sure as Atlantis sank into the sea I'm sinking like a stone babe, that's how it's got to be Paint the town black babe and let that pendulum swing I been stabbed in the back babe And if you don't love me, I'll never feel a thing And oh, if I don't have you, there's only one thing left for me to do When you dig up God's little acre, you lose all peace of mind You stare into the distance, looking for a sign But that sign it never comes babe, your wishes won't come true You keep praying for the rain while the sun beats down on you And oh, one thing I know, there's only one place left for me to go Repeats 2x I'm gonna fly too close to the sun, yeah I'm gonna fly too close to the sun
