Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken
[Verse 2]
Do you remember
There was a time
When people on the street
Were walking hand in hand in hand
They used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever
[Verse 3]
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up
And don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
[Verse 4]
Do you remember
Once upon a time
When there were open doors
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers
[Verse 5]
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up
And don't give up now
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
[Verse 6]
How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
And how can I explain
When words get broken
We used to talk about the weather
Making plans together
Days would last forever
[Verse 7]
Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
And don't give up
And don't give up now
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
[Verse 8]
Don't give up
Don't give up
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
[Verse 9]
Don't give up
Don't give up now
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love
Together we'll break these chains of love
