Love s Shackles

(Ooh-ooh…)
My heart’s in pieces, shattered, can’t deny
(Yeah)
You’re walking by, I see you from the side
We’re like two swans on a pond, lost in the tide
I’m just dancing slow while you’re heading to the exit line
(Hey!)

I catch your gaze — then you look away so cold
Like a cat guarding her kittens, hiding from the fold
I’m stunned, I don’t know how to hold you here tonight
You stole my peace, no words needed, it’s so bright
(No, no, no…)

Everyone sees what’s happening, it’s in the air
The space is electric, too thin to ignore
You pull me in like a flame in the dark, I swear
You burn me with your gaze — I’m caught, I’m there
(Oh, yeah…)

I’m bound in your embrace — love’s shackles, I confess
I chose these chains, I wanted this fire, no less
Now I see it was all just a beautiful illusion
I’ll learn to breathe again, I’ll rise above this confusion
(Higher! Higher!)


You quicken your pace, you feel my stare from miles
Every step you take is a line I can’t erase for a while
I tried to keep you, but you were never mine to hold
Just a beautiful thief in the city’s bright haze, so bold
(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 know
I’ll find the strength to let this story end, I’ve got to go
(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 — love’s shackles, I confess
I chose these chains, I wanted this fire, no less
Now I see it was all just a beautiful illusion
I’ll learn to breathe again — I’ll never be the same, I choose
(Higher! Yeah!)


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