I move away -- it don´t do me no good
Three thousand miles don´t help like I thought it would
Help me, beggin´ you, please.
You got the power; down on my knees
Give me some kind of life,
Leave me be

Take these chains off!
Take ´em off of my heart!

Reach out to me, as if from the grave,
I tried to run but I´m tied to you like a slave.
It´s my fault loving you so
You were so precious, how could I know
You turned mean overnight
Poor poor me

Take these chains off!
Take ´em off of my heart!

I don´t owe you anything
Why don´t you get out of my life
Through it all the memories cling
And I can´t sleep at night

Help me I´m beggin´ you please
You´ve got the power, down on my knees
Give me some kind of life,
Leave me be

Take these chains off!
Take ´em off of my heart!
