[Verse 1]
I gave you time, I gave you space
Waited for love in a one-way chase
You held my heart with empty hands
I stood alone, you never made a stand
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept holding on to a maybe,
But you were never gonna save me
No more second-guessin’,
No more silent stressin’
[Chorus]
I’m breakin’ the chains, walkin’ away
No more tears for games you play
I loved you deep, but you couldn’t see
Now I’m takin’ back what’s left of me
I’m done waitin’ for a heart that won’t stay
I’m breakin’ the chains today
[Verse 2]
You said the right words, but not with truth
A hollow echo in a lover’s booth
I lit a fire you wouldn’t feed
You took my hope, but not my need
[Pre-Chorus]
I was dancing in the dark,
You never gave me even a spark
But now I see it clearer,
My worth is in the mirror
[Chorus]
I’m breakin’ the chains, walkin’ away
No more tears for games you play
I loved you deep, but you couldn’t see
Now I’m takin’ back what’s left of me
I’m done waitin’ for a heart that won’t stay
I’m breakin’ the chains today
[Bridge]
Love should never be a war you fight alone
I’ve built my strength, I’m comin’ home
To me…
To peace…
To finally be free
[Final Chorus]
I’m breakin’ the chains, not lookin’ back
Healin’ the pieces you made crack
I gave my all, but now I see
The best kind of love starts inside me
I’m done beggin’ for a heart that won’t stay
I’m breakin’ the chains today
[Outro]
Yeah, I’m breakin’ the chains…
And I’m gonna be okay
