- Chained Lyrics / with translationsI watched you breathe in
And I wished you'd stop
Only for long enough
Long enough
It's hard to say
Separate or combine
I ask you one last time
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It's not a secret you should keep
I won't let you slip away
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?
Winged or chained
I ask you would you have stayed
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?
And I wished you'd stop
Only for long enough
Long enough
It's hard to say
Separate or combine
I ask you one last time
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It's not a secret you should keep
I won't let you slip away
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?
Winged or chained
I ask you would you have stayed
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?
