Chains Around My Heart [German translation]

Out of my sight

But the vision is still the same

Out of my mind

But the memory remains unchanged

Stones thrown in anger hold twice the hurt

Return to sender could only make things worse

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I've been lonely too long

You've got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life

Don't ask me why

Why I've lived with this all alone

Locked up inside

And it's cutting me to the bone

Love is a stranger avoiding me

Beware of danger's the only sign I see

Girl, you've got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I've been lonely too long

You've got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life

Are you listening

Is there something that you'd like to say

Am I getting through

Are you just gonna leave me this way

Girl you've got to break these chains around my heart

Before it tears me in two

You've got to break these chains around my heart

That's all I am asking of you

You've got to break these chains around my heart

Cause I've been lonely too long

You've got to break these chains around my heart

So I can finally get on with my life
