My sister told me that you were my soulmate
In the middle of the night, when you were getting on my case
It seems then my apologies all went to wasteSince I shouldn′t've said I′m sorry in the first place
Ah ah ah
You made me think I had your heart
But strings were attached
You're smart enough to realize nobody taught me that
Words my friend are one thing, but showing when it matters
Wasn't your superpower
But loving you was mine
You got your credentials
You′re total perfection
The portrait of a boy I′d like to raise, did I mention?
But under that picture
You're callous and vain
And then you try to hold me down and I′m all like
Chains are no match for the woman
Baby don't you think they′ve all tried before
Blame it on the girl with opinions
Running away cause I've got something to say and I′ll say it loud
They won't listen cause they're too proud
Tryin to keep me back
But baby baby baby baby
Your chains are no match
Adolescent love, so easy to break
You shattered me with promises and love you deemed as fake
When you said it seems I′ve changed
And I caused all the pain
And I′m the one who pays
But this time I'm not staying
And you don′t like that I'm free
That there′s no lifetime guarantee
Of my devotion to you
And all that you do
And all that you had in store for me
Your pride, you'll find it isn′t binding
No matter how hard you try
You got your credentials
You're total perfection
I wish I didn't miss your flaws and subtle pretension
Your arrogance embarrasses yourself not to mention
You use the wrong fucking "you′re" in a sentence
Chains are no match for the woman
Baby don′t you think they've all tried before
Blame it on the girl with opinions
Running away, cause I′ve got something to say, and I'll say it loud
They won′t listen cause they're too proud
Tryin to keep me back
But baby baby baby baby
Your chains are no match
But I loved you
If only I had tried to
Put aside my reservations
And give into your endless accolades
Maybe I want to be saved
I cant even say it with a straight face
2 3 4
Chains are no match for the woman
Baby don′t you think they've all tried before
Blame it on the girl with opinions
Running away, cause I've got something to say, and I′ll say it loud
They won′t listen cause they're too proud
Tryin to keep me back
But baby baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Baby baby baby
Your chains are no match
