Pre-chorus 1

Can't move my arms

Can't lift my hands

I won't admit to where I am

But I know baby

I'm in chains

I pretend I can always leave

Free to go whenever I please

But then the sound of my desperate calls

Echo off these dungeon walls

I've crossed the line from mad to sane

A thousand times and back again

I love you baby
