Breakin’ the chains Lyrics by Dokken

0

You sit there thinkin' in your room
You feel the pressure you're goin' crazy too
The walls around you closin' in
You need a change
Claustrophobic feelin' scared
You need somebody but no one seems to care
A one way ticket a change of pace
You've had enough you can't take no more
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
I got this letter came today
From my baby who left me yesterday
Said, She loves me she'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her she'll be upset
I know it's better than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest and insincere
I lost my mind twenty times a year
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
Woke up today I'm alone
While I look around but baby you were gone
But I don't mind and I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone now that you're gone
Don't need nobody to hold or tie me down
I broke the chains so let me be
I've gotta be free, free
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
