Chains of a Broken Heart

[Verse 1]
My heart is locked, a fortress of pain
Bound by chains, in love's cruel reign
People hurt me, left scars that remain
All I feel is sorrow, like endless rain

[Pre-Chorus]
Yet a flicker of hope still burns inside
A dream of love I dare to hide
But fear keeps my heart confined
In a prison I’ve designed

[Chorus]
Broken heart, chained apart
Wish I could heal my scarred heart
Loving in shadows, afraid to start
Finding strength to break free and restart

[Bridge]
Can love be freed from these shrouds?
Can I escape these heavy clouds?
Or am I lost in these doubts and fears?
Yearning for love that never appears

[Outro]
My heart, though shattered, still beats on
Seeking dawn after the pain’s dawn
Hoping one day love will come along
Until then, I stay strong, staying strong

Soulful ballad, piano and soft drums, emotional and tender mood
