Prisoner of Love

These chains, theses chains I can’t break them
Please, I’m begging you, take them
Unshackle my wrist, let me unclench my fist
I curse the one who makes them

These chains, these chains won’t be moved
I tug but what have I proved?
To prove all my love I pull and I shove
But the shackles will not be removed

These chains, these chains cut my skin
Love is my crime, it’s my sin
With all my might I go on with a fight
But I don’t think that I’ll ever win

These chains, these chains leave me tender
A new love these cuffs will render
I fought each day, to get away
But now I love you,
Im sorry

 I surrender
