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



(Chorus 1)

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

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



(Chorus 2)

Breaking the chains around me

Nobody else can bind me

Take a good look around me

Now I'm breaking the chains



(Solo)



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



(Repeat Chorus 2)
