[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
It was not so long ago
That my life seemed so unique.
I had you by my side
And I thought I was at my peak.
It felt so good inside to know
That you belonged to me,
But now that you are gone
My life is full of misery.

[Chorus]
I am bound by a chain
That is known as misery.
It keeps me tied
to your sweet love
With lasting memories.

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Although I've tried so hard
To shake you from my memory,
Each night I see you in my dreams,
Just smiling back at me.
I reach out in my sleep
To try and draw you back to me,
But then I wake to find
That I am bound by misery.

[Chorus]
I am bound by a chain
That is known as misery.
It keeps me tied
to your sweet love
With lasting memories.

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
I am bound by a chain
That is known as misery.
It keeps me tied
to your sweet love
With lasting memories.

[Instrumental Outro]
