Paper Chains Lyrics by Cast

Kicking Up the Dust

2017

[Veerse 1]
Been a lot of days, been a lot of nights
Been a lot of times in my life
Been a lot of tears that I've cried
Been a lot of times that I just had to keep them all locked inside
Been a lot of friends, friends I have lost
The reasons now I forgot
Been a lot of people that I've known
But maybe looking back I realise
We weren't all that close

[Chorus]
And the love you make
Held by paper chains
Broken by the weight of our two hearts
And these paper chains
Is now all that remains
Just hanging by the thread, torn apart

[Verse 2]
If I was wrong, if I was right
It's easy said with hindsight
Something I've never done in my life
I never judged a man unless I've seen the world through his eyes
Some things I've done, some things I've said
Some mistakes, some regrets
You can't live your life in the past
So try your best to carry on because there's no turning back

[Chorus]
And the love you make
Held by paper chains
Broken by the weight of our two hearts
And these paper chains
Is now all that remains
Just hanging by the thread, torn apart

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
And the love you make
Held by paper chains
Broken by the weight of our two hearts

[Outro]
There's always something you can do
There's always something there for you
And if there's one thing that I can do for you
And if there's one thing left to do
And if there's one thing I can do for you, what you're gonna do now
And if there's one thing I can do, tell me what it is, alright
There's always something there for you, something there for you
There's always something there for you, tell me what it is
Tell me what it is
And if there's one thing you can do for me, do for me, yeah
There's always one thing you can do
And if there's one thing left to do
There’s always one thing you can do
