It’s the loneliness living deep inside
Wells up slowly, then makes you cry
Weeping won’t stop God knows you’ve tried
Chains on the heart, a pain you can’t hide

Sorrow so deep it consumes the soul
Sadness depletes a spirit controlled
Can’t find the key, no lock to release
Trapped in a place, when will this pain ever cease?

In a crowd or alone it comes on like a wave
It’s not people you need but love that you crave
The hurting hangs on till there’s nothing else you can do
The one that must love you is nobody else but you

Chains on the heart can only be broken by you

What we hold bound within us need only our forgiveness to be set free.
