Starts with a flame and a spark When times feel rough and we light this up, get away from the dark I just wish that you stayed from the start But you turned so cold and you hurt my soul, now there's chains all over my heart And you can say that you never done this, say that you never done that I know what it is cuh every time you leave, girl, you come right back But I've got chains all over my T-shirts and I've got chains all over my jumper Bro told me "go and do your research" and I said no but now I just wonder With her wine-stained lips, yeah she's nothing but trouble Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul She tasted her break and I can't get more You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me A hold on me but the hold don't last Grown on me, yeah, I've grown up fast Chains, they hurt but I don't say a word Even though it burns when I still don't talk Girl, why'd you do this? When you know I'm wrapped up in that music Girl, don't act up, I'm not stupid Pull me down but I'm still not moving Girl, just leave That's starting to be my slogan Heart on my sleeve I'm starting to feel that pulsing Like girl a freak, oh you had me locked But them chains are broken And you sound so weak, when you first met me You were so outspoken Tables turn, I roll my burn I keep that rolling You're so cold, so damn cold And you get so frozen These lonely roads, I lost my soul I keep on strolling Let's get things rolling Yo Nick Jonas, go show them With her wine-stained lips, yeah she's nothing but trouble Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul She tasted her break and I can't get more You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong Gave you my heart but you took my soul You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me
