“Chains”
By Nick Jonas
With her wine-stained lips
Yeah she’s nothing but trouble
Cold to the touch
But she's warm as a devil
I gave her my heart
But she wanted my soul
She takes till I break
And I can't get more
Chorus
You got me in chains
You got me in chains for your love
But I wouldn't change
No I wouldn't change this love
Trying to break the chains
But the chains only break me
Alone in the night
Till she knocks on my door
Oh no, wasted again
But I can't say no
Baby tell me why
Why you do, do me wrong
Gave you my heart
But you took my soul
(Chorus)
