Lyric

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You’ve grown cold and no longer care for meAll my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger onTake these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and let me seeJust a spark of the love that used to beIf you love somebody new, let me find a new love, tooTake these chains from my heart and set me free
Give my heart just a word of sympathy (sympathy)Be as fair to my heart as you can be (you can be)Then if you no longer care for the love that’s beating thereTake these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free (set me free)
