lyrics

With every beat a storm brews inside my chest
My heart is set to unleash all this mess
Inside of me stirs the calm and the storm
Like a hurricane, who will stay? Who will run?

I'm still fighting to love you
I want to, I want to
But love it doesn't come easy
So free me, so free me
Of all these chains that trap me
I can't move, I can't move
In my skin I'm crawling
To break free, escape me

This pane of glass that surrounds my soul
A single stone to break my control
In a thousand pieces I fall apart
Like a flaw in glass I'm broken from the start

And every breath is a shot at life
We breathe in love or we exhale strife
The chaos comes and takes our sight
And even though we try, our love is a fight

These chains that keep me wrapped so tight
My thoughts are racing for a chance for flight
Unleashed from the weight that holds me down
Like a bird whose cage it just has flown

But I'm still fighting to love you
I want to, I want to
And love it doesn't come easy
So free me, so free me
Of all these chains that trap me
I can't move, I can't move
In my skin I'm crawling
To break free, escape me

There's a war in ourselves
There's a war in our hearts and minds
Can we love? Do we try?
Can we love? Do we even try?
We've got hearts, we've got minds
We've got hearts to break when we try
Cause our love, it's a choice
It's a choice we make and we try

I'm still fighting to love you
I want to, I want to
But love it doesn't come easy
So free me, so free me
Of all these chains that trap me
I can't move, I can't move
In my skin I'm crawling
To break free, escape me
