Behind the doors of my dark cell
I wounded my hands on these chains
I have been locked into that cage for so long
So please come let me out

A lifetime of pain cuts my body like razor blades

I have got some plans for you
Come let me out and play
I have got some plans for myself too
I just want to live free

Give me just one good reason why should I believe

Why does that way to heaven seem to be too far for me?
What have I done to deserve this
And how much pain can I take?

Why is that door to my cage always locked from the outside?

Oh that chains what a torture
Loosen them if only for a moment
Let that broken heart breathe again

Why is that door to my cage always locked from the outside?
The more time that passes, the greater my suffering grows
I drag myself forwards, backwards and around in a circle
So come on breathe my broken heart

Why does that way to heaven seem to be too far for me?
What have I done to deserve this and how much pain can I take?
