How can I explain when there are few words I can choose How can I explain when words get broken Do you remember there was a time, ahaha When people on the street We're walking hand in hand in hand They used to talk about the weather Making plans together Days would last forever Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love Do you remember once upon a time, ahaha When there were open doors An invitation to the world We were falling in and out with lovers Looking out for others Our sisters and our brothers Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up now Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love Together we'll break these chains of love How can I explain when there are few words I can choose How can I explain when words get broken They used to talk about the weather Making plans together Days would last forever Come to me, cover me, hold me Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up now Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up now Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love Together we'll break these chains of love Don't give up, don't give up now Together with me and my baby Break the chains of love
