It wasn't just your innocence
No, it wasn't temptation
It was just your own way
Of placing the blame on me

Stop thinking that it's all the name
You keep trading your love for pain
Someday her answer will come
Because there ain't no way to escape

[Chorus]
Baby I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
Chained by love

The answer for your loneliness
Is only frustration
So you gave it all away
By placing the blame on me

Remember how it used to be
Your lies won't that easily
Something's wrong
Why can't you see
There ain't no way to escape

[Chorus]

It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
Chained by love

And misery
Because I'm a prisoner
Did my time so let me be
Let me go
Your holding me

Someday her answer will come, you wait
Something's wrong
Why can't you see
That there ain't no way to escape
Escape

[Chorus]

Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
Chained by love

It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
