Tie down the chains
Keep them from leaving
Songs of what could be
And what has been
Play on repeat for decades to come
Hide the pain behind smiles
Though the tearless eyes
Show it all
Scraped hearts and
Bruised egos are said to heal
Truth is
They effect lifestyles and
Lovers to come
Find a song
Escape in a world of painful memories
Cry the verses out along with the pain
Break out of routines
Gain new soundtracks
For the old have betrayed
