She's bound and tied1
held fast by the ball and chain2
her answer to her escape3
hangs from the chains around her neck4
/ chorus /5
the wings of an angel6
forming a perfect heart7
the pain in her eyes8
caused by so much hurt9
/10
the key hangs loose around her neck11
just out of reach12
of the tangle that was13
chains and arms14
/15
she hopes for someone16
to come along and help17
as the chains grow heavy18
to a crushing weight19
/ chorus /20
the wings of an angel21
forming a perfect heart22
the pain in her eyes23
cause by so much hurt24
/25
no one is coming26
she has to break free27
arms work through the chains28
lessening the built up weight29
/ chorus /30
the wings of an angel31
forming a perfect heart32
the pain in her eyes33
caused by so much hurt34
~2X~35
She cannot break free36
But feels less like a captive37
Than she did38
before

Thank you so much. I don't have any music for it yet but I'm hoping to have some soon. Right now I'm working on a different song I wrote.
