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 be she'll 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

I While 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
