Tied by love to you but I was tied too strong   Still I'm afraid of knowin' what leavin' means   I know I lived for you in all I tried to do   You were the keeper of my dreams      Open wide these prison doors, take these chains from 'round my heart   Make believe that I'm no more, pay no mind when I depart   Need to find another place where love is not just tossed away   If you really care for me, open wide these prison doors and set me free      You were always caring, always warm and kind   But that was long ago when love was blind   And I don't want to hurt you the way that I've been hurt   But if I stay I'll lose my mind      Open wide these prison doors, take these chains from 'round my heart   Make believe that I'm no more, pay no mind when I depart   Need to find another place where love is not just tossed away   And if you really care for me, open wide these prison doors and set me free      Time is always moving while we're here standing still   I'll love you even though I'm leaving and maybe I always will      Open wide these prison doors, take these chains from 'round my heart   Make believe that I'm no more, pay no mind when I depart   Need to find another place where love is not just tossed away   And if you really care for me, open wide these prison doors and set me free      If you really care for me, open wide these prison doors and set me free   Set me free, set me free, set me free
