your arms are warm but they make me feel
as if they're made of cold, cold steel
a simple kiss like a turnin' key
a little click and the lock's on me
can't move my arms, can't lift my hands
I won't admit to where I am
but I know baby, I'm in chains, I'm in chains
I pretend I can always leave
free to go whenever I please
but then the sound of my desperate calls
echo off these dungeon walls
I've crossed the line from A to Z
a thousand times and back again
I love you baby,
I'm in chains, I'm in chains,
I'm in chains, I'm in chains,
should have known passin' through the gate
that once inside I could not escape
I never thought this could happen to me
never thought this is where I'd be
but baby, baby, baby, look at me
I said baby, baby, look at me, I'm in chains
(baby,baby,I'm in chains)
(baby,baby, I'm in chains)
I never thought this is where I'd be
never thought this would happen to me
(baby,baby,I'm in chains)
(baby,baby,I'm in chains)
When the day is long and the night,
The night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life,
Well hang on.
Don't let yourself go,
Everybody cries and everybody hurts
Sometimes.
Sometimes everything is wrong.
Now it's time to sing along.
When your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)
If you feel like letting go, (hold on)
When you think you've had too much of this life,
Well hang on.
Everybody hurts.
Take comfort in your friends.
Everybody hurts.
Don't throw your hand.
Oh, no. Don't throw your hand.
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone
If you're on your own in this life,
The days and nights are long,
when you think you've had too much of this life to hang on.
Well, everybody hurts sometimes,
Everybody cries.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
And everybody hurts sometimes.
So, hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on, hold on. (
Everybody hurts. You are not alone.)

It's easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
it's so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone
something has been taken
from deep inside of me
a secret i've kept locked away
no one can ever see
wounds so deep they never show
they never go away
like moving pictures in my head
for years and years they've played
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all the shame to the grave i would
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
i would take all my shame to the grave
Sometimes i remember
the darkness of my past
bringing back these memories
i wish i didnt have
sometimes i think of letting go
and never looking back
and never moving forward so
there would never be a past
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all the shame to the grave i would
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
i would take all my shame to the grave
just washing it aside
all of the helplessness inside
pretending i don't feel this place
is so much simpler than change
When this began
I had nothing to say
and I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
and I let it all out to find/that I'm
not the only person with these things in mind
(inside of me)
but all the vacancy the words revealed
is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(nothing to lose)
just stuck/hollow and alone
and the fault is my own
and the fault is my own
I want to heal
I want to feel
what I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long.
(erase all the pain til it's gone)
I want to heal
I want to feel
like I'm close to something real.
I want to find something I've wanted all along
somewhere I belong
and I've got nothing to say
I cant believe I didnt fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
looking everywhere/only to find that it's
not the way I had imagined it all in my mind.
(so what am I)
what do I have but negativity
cause I cant justify the way everyone is looking at me
(nothing to lose)
nothing to gain/hollow and alone
and the fault is my own
and the fault is my own
I will never know
myself until I do this on my own
and I will never feel
anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
anything 'til I break away from me
and I will break away
I'll find myself today
I want to heal
I want to feel like I'm
somewhere I belong
