TOTO LYRICS - Don't Chain My Heart

"Don't Chain My Heart"



Tired and frozen

I'm under your spell

I thought I knew you

But now I know you well

I wake up beside you

Move across your killing floor

I need my freedom and I see an open door

The room is getting smaller and the walls are closin' in

No one's leavin' and nobody's gettin' in



I try to run

I try to hide

I try to tell you what I'm feelin' inside

Should I stay

Should I go

You know I wanna touch you

But there's nothing left to hold



Don't chain my heart

Don't chain my soul

Don't chain my heart

'Cause you got to let it go



Looks like trouble

The signs are everywhere

I bend a little but you take more than your share

Crimes of passion

Crimes of mortal men

It's a deadly attraction and I won't be fooled again, baby

The storm is coming

The winds begin to rise

Please release me from this house of compromise



All day

All night

Your love is like an outlaw waiting till the time is right

Nobody's wrong

No one's to blame

Maybe it's just too hot because we're standin' in the flame



Don't chain my heart

Don't chain my soul

Don't chain my heart

'Cause you got to let it go



I'm a victim of your pain and jealousy

I feel like a prisoner and you hold the lock and key

We lost our vision

We lost our paradise

But there's still a part of me I refuse to sacrifice



[Instrumental break]



I try to run

I try to hide

I need to tell you what I'm feelin' inside, baby

Should I stay

Should I go

You know I wanna touch you

But there's nothing left to hold



Don't chain my heart

Don't chain my soul

Don't chain my heart

'Cause you got to let it go
