In slow decay, we release the anchor Only yesterday, we let the demon loose I brush the damage aside And gather all my strength to lift the noose Release the chains that bind I'm so afraid of what that girl would find And her memory lingering on my mind My heaven tonight I won't forgive her this time Still the anchor digs to the ocean floor The guilt will eat me inside to the very core Could compassion be the only cure? Could compassion be the only cure? I can't take this anymore Release the chains that bind (release the anchor) I'm so afraid of what that girl would find (let the demon loose) And her memory lingering on my mind (release the anchor) My heaven tonight I won't forgive her this time Forgive her this time And all I do, I can still feel you And all I do, I can still feel you Let go Release the chains that bind (release the anchor) I'm so afraid of what that girl would find (let the demon loose) And her memory lingering on my mind (release the anchor) My heaven tonight I won't forgive her this time Forgive her this time Chains that bind I'm so afraid of what that girl would find And her memory lingering on my mind My heaven tonight I won't forgive her this time Forgive her this time
