Chained
Chained to my past
Of when I was a kid
All the secrets that I've kept
All the shame of it
Chained by thoughts of failure
And not being good enough
Chained by all the thoughts that I
Would rather give it up
Chained by indecision
Should I follow or should I lead
And which way every day
Will my chains be taking me
Chained by broken heartache
Afraid it will come again
I wear these chains like I do my name
Or the comfort of a friend
Chained by what I can't or don't
Feel I can let go
Would I have these chains this very today
If all this I would have known
