Today, my thoughts were hung on him
As usual, again writing a song for him
As usual
What you see, will you break my chains
Give me back everything
He has taken away
He enslaves me
Can you set me free
What you see, can't you see I'm trying
He enslaves of me, can you set me free
What you see, can't you see I'm trying
My words, my days, my thirst, my teddy bears
Give me back everything
The moon, the dust, the care for the lust
Give me back everything
What you see, will you break my chains
Give me back everything
He has taken away, he enslaves me
Can you set me free
What you see, can't you see I'm trying
He enslaves me, can you set me free
What you see, can't you see I'm trying
Lust my hair but what of it
He is cold, I agree
He can't love and I love it
Although he laughs at me
He enslaves me, can you set me free
What you see, can't you see I'm trying
He enslaves me, can you set me free
What you see, can't you see I'm trying
He enslaves me, can you set me free
What you see, can't you see I'm trying
He enslaves me, can you set me free
What you see, can't you see I'm trying
