Even when I show myself, or try to give a fright
You just stare me down with eyes so calm and bright
That straight and honest gaze, it makes me flinch away
Are you calling me a coward? Is that what you want to say?
You’re living for the moment, carefree and so wild
With the spirit of a rebel, or the wonder of a child
To someone as free as you, it’s all a mystery
You’ll never understand, it’s not for you to see
I’m tied down by a chain that’s invisible to the eye
Bound to a tragic past, under a sunless sky
I can’t run away, no matter how I try
Chasing after warmth, searching for the light
You move with such a grace, through the middle of the night
I’m jealous of your heart, so light and so sincere
Are you asking what I’m doing? Is my purpose not so clear?
I’m longing for the freedom that you carry in your soul
While I’m fighting with the shadows that have taken all control
To someone as free as you, it’s all a mystery
I want to break the chain and set my spirit free
I want to leap away, into the golden day
And leave the ghosts of yesterday so far and far away
To someone as free as you, it’s all a mystery
You’ll never understand, it’s not for you to see
I’m tied down by a chain that’s invisible to the eye
Bound to a tragic past, under a sunless sky
I can’t run away, no matter how I try
Just one look at me
Yeah, you know the truth
Break these chains
To someone as free as you, it’s all a mystery
You’ll never understand, it’s not for you to see
I’m tied down by a chain that’s invisible to the eye
Bound to a tragic past, under a sunless sky
I can’t run away, no matter how I try
Invisible chains
You'll never know
Let me go
