Of how much pain my lovin' brings to me.
My feelings ache, my heart beats on in sorrow.
I love you so but you don't feel the same.
(chorus)
So, take these chains from my heart
Set me free so I can make a new start
Take these chains from my heart
And set me free.
As I look on the clouds have started weaping
She leaves today to catch a southbound train.
It's spring outside. The birds are all a-singing.
But all I hear is cold falling rain.
(chorus)
So, take these chains from my heart
Set me free so I can make a new start
Take these chains from my heart
And set me free.
(bridge)
It's really hard to break away these chains from my heart.
The links are strong. But, now you're gone,
And they're tearing my life apart!
I've given up. I've tried to mend the break-up.
But you sit there with not a word to say.
All things are said with no more lies to make up.
Your bags are packed. You'll soon be on your way.
(chorus)
So, take these chains from my heart
Set me free so I can make a new start
Take these chains from my heart
And set me free.
