## Lyrics
[verse]
For five long years I was just a link here
One more name on your long, long list
You'd call me over when it was convenient
Then vanish quiet as the morning mist

[verse]
I wasn't the first one caught in your circle
Won't be the last one you leave behind
But every chain's got a breaking point, baby
And I done reached the end of mine

[chorus]
Bound up, bound up, tied to your game
Every one of us wearing the same old chain
But watch me now, I'm slipping free
No more links, no more, not for me

[verse]
My mama warned me about a man like you
Said sweet talk melts but it don't stay true
I laughed it off, thought I knew better
Now I'm the one who's gotta break the fetter

[chorus]
Bound up, bound up, tied to your game
Every one of us wearing the same old chain
But watch me now, I'm slipping free
No more links, no more, not for me

[bridge]
Come the morning, I'll be gone for good
And it won't be me still standing where I stood
Whatever's left of your worn out lies
I'm through, I'm gone, watch me rise

[chorus]
Bound up, bound up, tied to your game
Every one of us wearing the same old chain
But watch me now, I'm slipping free
No more links, no more, not for me
