The Purple Operator - Chains Lyrics

Been thinking too much lately
You know it's making me insane
I just can't seem to clear my mind
And I can't see through the rain

I just don't think I need these chains
I been wearing them loose
If you make them any tighter
I might look for an excuse

To run real far away
You know make believe I tried
You might say I can't be chained down
You might say that I lied

But I need to sit alone most times
You know I need to think it through
I just can't have you sit so close
You know I need the extra room
And maybe it's cause I'm crazy
Lazy or a little insecure
I never meant to hurt no one
But I just can't step out that door

But I never said those words
You know I like my little space
When people try to crowd it
I get all out of place

It's not that I don't want to
It's that I don't think I can
My brain is much too distant
I don't need these extra hands

But I need to sit alone most times
You know I need to think shit through
I just can't have you sit so close
You know I need the extra room
And maybe it's cause I'm crazy
Lazy or a little insecure
I never meant to hurt no one
But I just can't step out that door

And those stars they seem so far away
Just like my two brown eyes
You can always see right through them
But it's good that you did try

May they're like the ocean
There's so much you can't see
There's always so much happening
So much to be let be

I need to sit alone most times
You know I need to think shit through
I just can't have you sit so close
You know I need the extra room
And maybe it's cause I'm crazy
Lazy or a little insecure
I never meant to hurt no one
But I just can't step out that door

I need to sit alone most times
You know I need to think shit through
I just can't have you sit so close
You know I need the extra room
And maybe it's cause I'm crazy
Lazy or a little insecure
I never meant to hurt no one
But I just can't step out that door
