We gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashin' Well, far between sundown's finish and midnight's broken toll We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashin' As majestic bells of boats struck shadows in the sun Sayin', it may be the chimes of freedom

With every move I die I'm losing it I'm dancing with tears in my eyes Just fighting to get through the night I'm broken inside I've wasted the love of my life I have destroyed our love,

I thought if I could touch this place or feel it This brokenness inside me might start healing. Out here it's like I'm someone else, Won't take nothing but a memory If I could just come in I swear I'll leave. From the house that built me. I thought that

I'm torn into pieces Can't deny it Can't pretend Just thought you were the one Broken up deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry Behind these hazel eyes

You can't take this away I am the pain that takes you away I am finally free I've broken through the chains I have no fear, I'm wide awake I'm finally free Can you feel me around you? I am the blood inside your veins You taste me, you touch me

That I'm losing control Trapped inside your broken world While I'm playing the victim again Running in circles To me it's all the same And though nothing's gonna change I hope someday you have it all Wait how long would you wait Just for me to call

Could you keep your head up? Many moons will lighten the way And sure this night will follow a day And everything you once loved remains Sometimes the tears we cry Are more than any heart can take We hurt, just keep it inside Small wonder that it starts
