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 old ghosts 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, darling, 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
