Chained by Elle King Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We can run away
But we can't hide for long
And all that lingers harms us
I can lie to you
But the truth comes alive
Every time I die
Saying goodbye

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to change
And I can't stay this way
And I don't even mind staying chained
And thinking of you
Thinking of you

[Verse 2]
Is it up to me?
It's always been up to you
To find the peace we needed to
Is it said and done?
Is it carved in the stone?
And how many days is it gonna take
'Til we get back home?
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want to change
And I can't stay this way
And I don't even mind staying chained
And thinking of you
Thinking of you

[Break]
Will you wake me up?
Will you shake me up?
'Cause I'm losing my way in the game
Even at our best, my love
Neither one of us was ever really good enough

[Outro]
And I don't know why I can't change
And I will always stay this way
And I don't even mind staying chained
And thinking of you
Thinking of you
