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's been dishonest ... and insincere I lost my mind - twenty times a year Chorus: 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 are 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 Chorus (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) In The Middle (Lynch, Dokken) 3:43 I talk with you, I think of her It always turns out the same I change my mind, then I'm not sure Love's got me shackled in chains Win or lose We've lit the fuse I've lost control Then you explode my soul Chorus: In the middle - of love (2) Torn apart Right from the start Is it too late to be true Now things have changed We're not the same I've lost control Then you explode my soul Chorus (2) Chorus (2) In the middle - I lose control In the middle -
