Chain Letter - Kim Carnes

Oh I read what you wrote

Feels like chains to me

You keep me tied up

With your talk about love

That never sets us free

When I read what you say

I hear desperation In every cliche

You’re daring me to break

I read your letter

And it feels like chains

I read your letter

And it’s chaining me to you

I read your letter

And it feels like chains

I read your letter

And it’s chaining me to you

Goodbye you said goodbye

You hurt me so bad

Then you come back

I hear your steps in the hall

And a letter under the door

When I read what you say

We’ve made a terrible mistake

And it’s more than I can take

I read your letter

And it feels like chains

I read your letter

And it’s chaining me to you

I read your letter

And it feels like chains

I read your letter

And it’s chaining me to you

By now all the sweet things

You’re begging to say

Are just marks on a page

I hear calculation

I hear desperation

I hear you daring me to break

I read your letter

And it feels like chains

I read your letter

And it’s chaining me to you

I read your letter

And it feels like chains

I read your letter

And it’s chaining me to you
