Candle song 3

it´s christmas again so we lit all the candles
and we tried to pretend that your room was a palace
but we can´t seem to shake of the fear
that nothing is different, that no-one has changed
nothing has changed

i stand by my lover as she stands by me
chained to my lover as she´s chained to me

we´ve been through the past and the pain
the love that was lost
and we know all the answers
we´ve taken our chances and let them drift by
its´ time to be free yeah it´s time to be free
standing s close i can´t see you at all

i stand by my lover as she stands by me
chained to my lover as she´s chained to me

but your books don´t say much about
living your life like a thief
yeah we´re handcuffed and chained
we play games and play them out slowly

i stand by my lover as she stands by me
chained to my lover as she´s chained to me

i stand by my lover as she stands by me
chained to my lover as she´s chained to me
