| You’ve been damaged, you’ve been battered and bruised, now you’re | 
| Never far from your walking shoes | 
| You wanna believe things are gonna be different | 
| But those | 
| come calling and you’re right back in it | 
| You’ve got those hell-hounds hot on your trail | 
| And the ship that you’ve been waiting on never set sail | 
| Seems like the hard times ain’t never gonna end | 
| Just reach out your hand | 
| , I’ll be your friend | 
| 'Cause the hardest chain to break | 
| Is the one that’s wrapped around your heart | 
| And the hardest feeling to shake | 
| Is the one that’s tearing you apart | 
| You need someone, you need something | 
| And the world needs a whole more you and a little less rain | 
| 'Cause the hardest thing to take | 
| Is your tears still filled with pain | 
| Turn up your collar to the cold, cold wind | 
| But you can’t have that empty place you used to keep your friends | 
| The shoes you’re wearing are getting paper thin | 
| Like the veil around your heart that holds your heart aching | 
| Shooting stars falling at your feet | 
| But their light seems so distant and your faith seems so weak | 
| Somewhere in the darkness, there’s a voice so sweet and free | 
| I stood where you were standing, now lay your heart on me | 
| 'Cause the hardest chain to break | 
| Is the one that’s wrapped around your heart | 
| And the hardest feeling to shake | 
| Is the one that’s tearing you apart | 
| You need someone, you need something | 
| And the world needs a whole more you and a little less rain | 
| 'Cause the hardest thing to take | 
| Is your tears still filled with pain | 
| You need someone, you need something | 
| And the world needs a whole more you and a little less rain | 
| 'Cause the hardest thing to take | 
| Is your tears still filled with pain | 
| Hardest chain to break | 
| And the hardest feeling to shake | 
| You’ve got to break the chain, baby | 
| And the hardest chain to break | 
| And the hardest feeling to shake | 
| Break the chain, baby | 
| And the hardest chain to break |
