Chains



You were by breath of fresh air
You were supposed to by my end
Instead all I did was make amends
Somehow I was in your bed with these regrets
Did you win that bet
Or are you still in debt
I was nothing more than a toy
You gave me all this joy
Just to take it away like it was nothing
Left me in tears
I got all these fears
It isn’t like it appears
Oh everything is clear
You were never my domineer
You were just playing me for your own gain
It’s time I break these chains
I’m going into my own lane
