It could take a little
It could take a little time
But I think we'll get it right
If this life is only
Only real when it hurts
But I think that we'll survive
Survive
We've built palaces
Imagining everything we want but can't have
Real life ain't so fantastic
What do you mean we could have had everything?
And now that this dream's palaces deceiving
We could have it all without the price that we paid
We could have it all without the shames
The palaces made
Break free from the chains
Break free from the chains
Into love
Into love
Let's break free from the chains
Break free from the chains
Into love
It could take a little
It could take a little time
But this life could be so blessed
If we keep it simple
Say no to the madness
And take care of the rest, the rest
We've built palaces
Imagining everything we want but can't have
Real life ain't so fantastic
What do you mean we could have had everything?
And now that this dream's palaces deceiving
Break free from the chains
Break free from the chains
Into love
Into love
Let's break free from the chains
Break free from the chains
Into love
We built palaces but palaces fade
But we still say
We've built palaces
Imagining everything we want but can't have
Real life ain't so bad
Break free from the chains
Break free from the chains
Into love
Into love
Let's break free from the chains
Break free from the chains
Into love
Into love let's
Break free from the chains
Break free from the chains
Into love
Into love
Let's break free from the chains
Break free from the chains
Into love
Into love
