Don't surrender to the past
Remove those chains
Set your tired body free
Take the heart away and what remains?
Tears for a love that cannot be

Now the tattered bonds have been broken
No more are you punished and enslaved by your regrets

Don't surrender to the past
Remove those chains
Set your tired body free
Take the heart away and what remains?
Tears for a love that
