Invisible Chains
Longing for arms that once held me tight
Longing to make love to you - it once felt so right
Longing for something…I’m not quite sure
All I know is when you held me
I felt so secure
I wish I could close my eyes - start this life over
Wake up in a new time and place
And start each day
Smiling back at your beautiful face
It’s your laughter I miss, your sweet gentle kiss…
Still I need to remember
That day in September
When you said you never loved me
Said you set my heart free
I think you will agree…
That the love that we shared
Was but one sided
The love I felt for you
Was sadly misguided
I fooled myself, I wasn’t that smart
Thought I could be the one
To unlock your heart
I thought I was living my dream
Didn’t know I was living a lie
A lie I was too blinded to see
Until you said goodbye
Loving you was all that mattered
Now I’m left to pick up the pieces of my heart…
Now broken and battered
The time has come to close this chapter
I’m no longer your slave
You are no longer my captor
For you didn’t know what you had
I would have gone to the ends of the earth for you
Would have loved you forever
So yes it is time
Time to break these invisible chains
Of a love
That was felt only by me
These invisible chains
Of a love that was never meant to be
