I was fine till you walked in
And worked your way right under my skin
You were free
And I was feelin’ trapped
Lookin’ back, it seems so crazy
But I just needed somethin’ to save me
Didn’t care about your past
Now you’ve bound me
By my heartstrings
With the shackles anchored deep into my bones
I’m on a long road
With a short rope
And I’m pleading, baby, please leave me alone
Let me let you go
You have taken all that I love
And no one wants me, now that you’ve come
Oh, how could I let this happen to myself?
Now I see your master plan
You’ve taken me for all that I am
I’m drownin’ underneath your spell
Yes you’ve bound me
By my heartstrings
With the shackles anchored deep into my bones
I’m on a long road
With a short rope
And I’m pleading, baby, please leave me alone
Let me let you go
Have I clouded my own vision?
Built the walls to my own prison?
Bound by chains that have no links
I’m blinded by the thoughts I think
You’ve bound me
By my heartstrings
With the shackles anchored deep into my bones
I’m on a long road
With a short rope
And I’m pleading, baby, please leave me alone
Let me let you go
