You 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 Claustrophobic feelin' scared You need somebody but no one seems to care A one way ticket a change of pace You've had enough you 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 I 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 Breaking the chains around you Nobody else can bind you Take a good look around you Now you're breaking the chains Woke up today I'm alone While 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, free Breaking the chains around you Nobody else can bind you Take a good look around you Now you're breaking the chains Breaking the chains around you Nobody else can bind you Take a good look around you Now you're breaking the chains
