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 Claustophobic Feelin' scared You need somebody But no one seems to care A one way ticket A change of pace You've had enough 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 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'd been dishonest And insincere I lost my mind 20 times a year Breaking the chains around me Nobody else can bind me Take a good look around me Now I'm breaking the chains Woke up today I'm alone 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 Breaking the chains around me Nobody else can bind me Take a good look around me Now I'm breaking the chains Breaking the chains around me Nobody else can bind me Take a good look around me Now I'm breaking the chains
