Chains of You

(Verse 1)

I still taste the smoke from our last goodbye,

Ashes on my tongue, tears that never dry.

Your voice, a ghost that haunts the night,

Whispered promises — they all turned to lies.

You carved your name into my heart,

Now it’s bleeding where you left your mark.

Every breath I take is laced with pain,

Every memory’s a ball and chain.

(Chorus)

These chains of you — they drag me down,

Every link forged from what we found.

Love was my prison, sweet and cruel,

Now I’m the fool that you unmade.

You broke the key, you turned away,

And I’m still chained to yesterday.

(Verse 2)

You moved on — I stayed behind,

Lost in the ruins of a love confined.

I see your shadow in every flame,

A silent scream that calls your name.

I thought forever was what we swore,

But forever don’t mean much anymore.

You played my heart like a melody,

And left me drowning in your symphony.

(Chorus)

These chains of you — they drag me down,

Every link forged from what we found.

Love was my prison, sweet and cruel,

Now I’m the fool that you unmade.

You broke the key, you turned away,

And I’m still chained to yesterday.

(Bridge)

Rust on my soul, it’s eating me slow,

Can’t kill the pain, can’t let it go.

You’re the weight I wear beneath my skin,

A curse I breathe, a sin within.

(Breakdown)

Every night I fight to break free,

But your ghost wraps tighter around me.

Love was the weapon, you took the aim,

Now I’m the echo that still screams your name.

(Final Chorus)

These chains of you — they drag me down,

Every link forged from what we found.

Love was my prison, dark and true,

I gave my soul — and it still burns for you.

You broke the key, you walked away,

But I’m still chained…

to yesterday.

(Outro – whispered)

And the chains… keep eating away…

at what’s left of me.
