Love s Shackles

(Ooh-ooh…)
My heart is broken, shattered into pieces…
(Yeah)
And somewhere nearby, you're passing by
We search for each other like swans on a pond
But I'm just dancing while you glide toward the exit
(Hey!)


I catch your gaze, then you look away so cold
Like a cat guarding her kittens in the shade
I'm stunned, I don't know how to hold you here
You've stolen my peace without even a word
(No, no, no…)


Everyone sees what's happening between us
The air is electric, the space is too thin
You embrace me like a flame in the darkness
You burn me with your gaze and pull me in
(Oh, yeah…)


I'm bound in your embrace — these are love's shackles
I chose these chains, I wanted this fire
Now I see it was all just an illusion
And I'll learn to breathe without you higher
(Higher! Higher!)


You quicken your pace, like you sense my stare
Every step you take is a line I can't erase
I tried to keep you, but you were never mine
Just a beautiful thief in the city's bright haze
(Ooh, ooh…)


The rooftops spin, the wind carries your scent
I trace the echo of every moment we spent
But the flame that burned so bright is fading now
I'll find the strength to let this story end somehow
(Let it go…)


(Ah-ah-ah… ah-ah-ah…)
I'm learning…
I'm moving…
I'm breaking free…


I'm bound in your embrace — these are love's shackles
I chose these chains, I wanted this fire
Now I see it was all just an illusion
And I'll learn to breathe without you higher
(Higher! Yeah!)


My heart is broken… but it's learning to mend
Somewhere nearby, our paths will never cross again
(Never again…)
(Ooh… ooh…)
