Chains Drag Me Down
Megan Davies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold to the touch but she's warm as a devil
I gave all my heart but she won't heal my soul
She tasted a break and I can't get more
You got me in chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
You got me chains, you got me in chains for your love
But, I wouldn't change, no I wouldn't change this love
I've got fire for a heart,
I'm not scared of the dark
You've never seen it look so easy,
I got a river for a soul and baby you're a boat,
Baby you're my only reason
If I didn't have you there would be nothing left
The shell of a man who could never be his best (be his best)
If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun (Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong)
You taught me how to be someone, yeah (Baby tell me why)
You got me in chains (All my life)
you got me in chains for your love (You stood by me when no one else was ever behind me)
All these lights, they can't blind me (You got me in chains)
With your love, nobody can drag me down (You got me in chains for your love)
Ooooo….Nobody, nobody
Ooooo….Nobody can drag me down
Ooooo….Nobody, nobody
Ooooo….Nobody can drag me
Tryna break the chains but the chains only break me
Ooooooo….
All my life
No, I wouldn't change this love
Baby tell me why, tell me why All these lights
No, I wouldn't change this love
Baby tell me why, why you do, do me wrong
With your love, nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me down
Nobody, nobody
Nobody can drag me
You got me in chains (All my life)
you got me in chains for your love (You stood by me, when no one else was ever behind me)
You got me in chains (All these lights, They can't blind me)
You got me in chains for your love (with your love, nobody can drag me down)
Ooooo….Nobody, nobody
Ooooo….Nobody can drag me down
Ooooo….Nobody, nobody
Ooooo….Nobody can drag me
