I read some words on a page of a book that I wrote,
from the years that fell by
There was a stain on the page that was made by the tears
that were falling from my eye
Because I didn't know how to undo the chains
That had held you so long in the time that remains
I'd be happy if you cried if it meant the tears would wash away
The mask that hides your smile and steals your heart
from me everyday
But hope's so hard to find on a one way track
Cos there's road signs on the way but none for coming back
I can't explain all these things that have happened to me
Now I'm stuck here in these chains of what I once believed
I can't explain all these things that have happened to me
Now I'm stuck with all these things that happen to be me
I stared at the Atlantic waves again and sure enough I've changed
The pawns are still on the board, but they've all been re-arranged
I need a place to hang my reasons but the best I can find
Is on the gallows of my worn and troubled mind
I can't explain all these things that have happened to me
Now I'm stuck here in these chains of what I once believed
I can't explain all these things that have happened to me
Now I'm stuck with all these things that happen to be me
Shadows on the road, slaves to wind and sun
There's one you can't escape however far you run
I can't explain all these things that have happened to me
Now I'm stuck here in these chains of what I once believed
I can't explain all these things that have happened to me
Now I'm stuck with all these things that happen to be me
Undo these Chains
Undo these Chains
Undo these Chains
