It's Christmas again so we lit all the candles And we tried to pretend that your room was a palace But we can't seem to shake off the fear That nothing is different, that no one has changed Nothing has changed
I stand by my lover As she stands by me Chained to my lover As she's chained to me
We've been through the past and the pain The love that was lost And we know all the answers We've taken our chances and let them drift by It's time to be free yeah it's time to be free Standing so close I can't see you at all
I stand by my lover As she stands by me Chained to my lover As she's chained to me
But your books don't say much about Living your life like a thief Yeah, we're handcuffed and chained We play games and play them out slowly
I stand by my lover As she stands by me Chained to my lover As she's chained to me
I stand by my lover As she stands by me Chained to my lover As she's chained to me
