Soul Asylum - Chains lyrics

rate me

The mirror on the wall it tells no lies

And oh I don't like what I see

I see a woman there I watch her as she cries

And the woman isn't really me

But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around

Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free

I need to feel you put your hands around me

Day in, day out it's the same old story

You're out there on your own

Is he worth the price you pay

Got you in his chains

Will he set you free someday

I wish I didn't feel this way I can't get nothing done

And all I want to do is go to sleep

Though I lie in bed for hours I cannot close my eyes

And lonely days turn into lonely weeks

But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around

Look for you, tender, hold me, set me free

I need to feel you put your hands around me

Day in, day out, it's the same old story

You're out there on your own

Is he worth the price you pay

Got you in his chains

Will he set you free someday

Every now and then I think things might be all right

And I think I see a light beyond the door

Just as I approach it disappears again

And everything seems darker than before

But every day I get up, calm down, give up, hang around

Look for you, hold me, tender, set me free

I need to feel you put your hands around me

Day in, day out, it's the same old story

You're out there on your own

Is he worth the price you pay

Got you in his chains

Will he set you free someday
