Chains Songtext
von Soul Asylum

The mirror on the wall
It tells no lies
And no, 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 it worth the price you pay?
Got you in its chains

Will it set you free someday?


I wish I didn't feel this way
I can 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 it worth the price you pay?
Got you in its chains

Will it set you free someday?

Every now and then
I think things might be alright
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 it worth the price you pay?
Got you in its chains

Will it set you free someday?
