Darlin' it's getting old
All the drama that you put me through, whoa
I've second guessed my reasoning
For giving all I have to loving you
Can't wait another night
I'm getting out tonight
I'm gonna lay it all out
Oh, I feel like leaving 'cause you're holding me down
Wrapped up in chains, yeah, you're holding me down
Gotta break away if I'm gonna survive
To hell with you, baby, my worst love of all time
A little love you gotta try
To get me in of get me outta here, whoa
Before you laugh, you always cry
Moods changing like the ring you wear
Won't wait another night
I'm getting out tonight
I'm gonna lay it all out
Oh, I feel like leaving 'cause you're holding me down
Wrapped up in chains, yeah, you're holding me down
Gotta break away if I'm gonna survive
To hell with you, baby, my worst love of all time
Listen to me baby for a second if that's alright, alright, all
Running out of reasons why I'm back here every night (what I'm crying about)
Nothings ever felt so wrong in my life (what I'm crying about)
Gotta let me out before I give up all my pride, my pride, my pride, my pride, my pride, my pride, my pride
Oh, I feel like leaving 'cause you're holding me down
Wrapped up in chains, yeah, you're holding me down
Gotta break away if I'm gonna survive
To hell with you, baby, you've wasted my time
Oh, I feel like leaving 'cause you're holding me down
Wrapped up in chains, yeah, you're holding me down
Gotta break away if I'm gonna survive
To hell with you, baby, my worst love of all time
