heartbreakin' scream

chain gang of 1974, the

i couldn't see the places you go

that led you to think you've been safe

so you scream down at me

and think everything's alright

your eyes tell the lie

your hands even shake

the voice

it might break all the way home

will you admit? or hide with that precious smile?

you got me on my knees with that heartbreakin' scream

you got me on my knees with that heartbreakin' scream

slow down

just slow down

just slow down and speak

that promise to me became the disease

i let you lay on a bed that's sacred

i'm begging you please

go on and let me free

you gave me your word

my mother

she heard

you said to her face that you loved her third son

i'm begging you please

go on and let me free

you got me on my knees with that heartbreakin' scream

you got me on my knees with that heartbreakin' scream

slow down

just slow down

just slow down and speak

heartbreak

you got me on my knees with that heartbreakin' scream

you got me on my knees with that heartbreakin' scream

slow down

just slow down

just slow down and speak
