lyrics

I won’t be living in chains
I won’t be living in chains

Chains, whatever the cost, doesn’t matter take ‘em off in their face
Let ’em see you step out of your comfort zone
Some people in my life, took me for a ride
Pretending to be wise while lighting up a fire under me

It’s something crazy but I won’t be living in chains
Just to be free, I won’t keep hearing them say
Gimme just a little more, for your own good is it ever gonna be enough, maybe I should know better
Take em off with me

Bright, a diamond in the rough, yeah it's always been a really tough ride
Let ‘em see you shine when they lose control

Someday you will fall from you pedestal
Down there on the cold ground, remember what they told you and me

No I’m not evil, for wanting to be me

It’s something crazy but I won’t be living in chains
Just to be free, I won’t keep hearing them say
Gimme just a little more, for your own good is it ever gonna be enough, maybe I should know better
Maybe I should know better

“Give me that something, that one thing, yeah help me help you”
Even if I liked it, that lie is not worth believing

It’s something crazy but I won’t be living in chains
Just to be free, I won’t keep hearing them saying/say
Gimme just a little more, for your own good is it ever gonna be enough, maybe I should know better yet I’m always in the middle of a battle with chains
Just let me out

“Give me that something, that one thing, yeah help me help you”
Even if I liked it, that lie is not worth believing
