These Chains

Everybody keeps talkin' about you
I can't lie anymore
Been too long, what went wrong? It's a mystery
Why you ever walked out that door?
What direction should I go?
Girl what's next for me? I don't know
Is it gonna get easier than tryin'
To break these chains around my heart?
Does it ever get easier?
Without you I can't pull these chains apart
I see your face when I look in the mirror
I feel your touch but you're not there
Wakin' up, had enough of this dream of mine
Girl this just isn't fair
What direction should I go?
Girl what's next for me? I don't know
Is it gonna get easier than tryin'
To break these chains around my heart?
Does it ever get easier?
Without you I can't pull these chains apart
Day by day, until they break
Is it gonna get easier than tryin'
To break these chains around my heart?
Does it ever get easier?
Without you I can't pull these chains apart
