Why am i chained to a memory?
Why does the thought of you still torture me?
When will i find someone to set me free?
So i won't be chained to a memory, mmm

Why am i chained to the hurt i knew?
Each day the thought of something so cruel to do
Where in this world will i escape from you?
So i won't be chained to a memory

Your letters threw them on the fire
Your pictures out the window
All that i could find that reminded me of you
I threw them all away

I get up in the morning
I'm pacing the floor
Like i'm expecting you to walk in the door
I keep forgetting i won't see you anymore
Guess i'm doomed to be chained to a memory

Oh, yes i am
I get up in the morning
I'm pacing the floor
Like i'm expecting you to walk in the door
I keep forgetting i won't see you anymore
Guess i'm doomed to be chained to a memory
Yes i am
