Chained - The xx

I watched you breathe in

And I wished you’d stop

Only for long enough

Long enough

It’s hard to say

Separate or combine

I ask you one last time

Did I hold you too tight?

Did I not let enough light in?

If a feeling appears

If your mind should sway

It’s not a secret you should keep

I won’t let you slip away

We used to be closer than this

We used to be closer than this

We used to get closer than this

Is it something you miss?

We used to be closer than this

We used to be closer than this

We used to get closer than this

Is it something you miss?

Winged or chained

I ask you, 'Would you have stayed?'

Did I hold you too tight?

Did I not let enough light in?
