Your Man Alex Smith - Let Me Off My Chain Lyrics

He got to you before me
And I see he left a story
On your skin and within
But as you tell it to me
Something courses through me
Something old something strong

And this old wretched heart of mine gets
Kicked into life
His scent in my snout
So let the angels sing out

And let me off of my chain
I'll use these claws for good
I know I'm not a saint, but loosen my restraints
And I'll do what no one ever could
Let me off of my chain
I'll tear him down for you
I know it isn't right but just give me tonight
I'll do what you could never ask me to
Let me off of my chain

You say there's nothing I can do
Then what am I good for?
And I know I can't give back what he took from you
But I can stop him taking anymore

Cos if I lived as a monster
I'll die as one too
It only seems right
To go down with a fight

So let me off of my chain
I'll use these claws for good
I know I'm not a saint, but loosen my restraints
And I'll do what no one ever could
Let me off of my chain
I'll tear him down for you
I know it isn't right but just give me tonight
I'll do what you could never ask me to
He'll be nothing when I'm through
Let me off of my chain

And you, you showed me the light
Showed that there's goodness inside of me
And it's never, it's never black and white
Never as simple as they said it would be
Cos a hero can have fangs
And a monster can wear a mask
You never know who's who until it's way too late
But he showed his true colours
When he laid hands on you
So this time, I don't have to wait

Oh I wasn't born in light but I know now
Doesn't matter who you are
It's who you choose to be
And I will be his enemy

Let me off of my chain
I'll use these claws for good
I know I'm not a saint, but loosen my restraints
I'll do what no one ever could
Let me off of my chain
I'll tear him down for you
I know it isn't right but just give me tonight
I'll do what you could never ask me
Let me of of my chain
Let me of of my chain
Let me of of my chain
