Rusty Chain

[Intro] Streetlights shine on broken pavement A distant whistle echoes deep inside my chest [Verse 1] Hear the sound of rusty chains rattling The weight of yesterday still stains my hands This ring I'm holding in these battered palms Knows a promise no blade could ever break [Pre-Chorus] Picking up the shattered pieces of the dreams we laughed away We're just getting back on our feet again [Chorus] Rusty Chain, we're still holding on If we can make it through this spark-filled night Rusty Chain, it won't come undone No matter how the wild wind blows, I'm standing right here [Verse 2] The bar lights flicker, calling out my name Back-alley shadows show the naked truth No need for words—let your fists do the talking We made our vow beneath a fallen sky [Pre-Chorus] Drawing brand-new lines across a worn-out map My destination's always next to you [Chorus] Rusty Chain, we're still holding on Holding tight to pride covered up in mud Rusty Chain, it won't come undone We'll keep walking till the morning breaks [Bridge] Maybe they'll laugh and point their fingers "What good's an old rusty chain?" Then take a hold and feel it for yourself You'll find there's still some warmth beneath the cold [Breakdown] Out of breath... Still I won't let go Only the beating of my heart remains [Final Chorus] Rusty Chain, we're still holding on If we can make it through this breaking night Rusty Chain, it won't come undone 'Cause every time I call your name, you answer back [Outro] When dawn paints the streets in gold The rust begins to shine like a brand-new vow With this rusty chain against my heart
