After all, I guess I made it
Never asked, and no reward at all
My pain in life, it left me jaded
Am I bound to you..
Am I bound to you..
Am I bound to you by love?

Feel the love from passing strangers
Who give a smile for free,
With nothing in return..
But you require so much patience
Am I bound to you?
What does love make you do?
Am I bound to you by blood?!

I got a will of my own
I got pain, but I'm grown
I got fear, but I'm strong
I'm not 'fraid to be all alone

I've been walking thru the dark
With the weight of the world
Just carrying me down the road
But oh no.. it's a long way home
But oh no.. it's a long way home
It's a long way home

I've been walking thru the dark
With the weight of the world
Just carrying me down the road
And it's all alone

Oh..are you all alone?
Alone
Alone

Am I bound to you?
Am I bound to you?
Am I bound to you?
Am I bound to you?
Am I bound to you?

the way of the world
has taken its toll
ravaged my body
and bitten my soul

I am ruined by rain
weathered by wind
I've been invaded
without and within

and I ask
I am asking you
asking you if you
might still want me.

once you said
I'm made of fine stuff.
but I've been corrupted.
and taken enough.

now you appear.
making your claim.
inside my heart
is the sign of your name.

and I ask
I am asking you
asking you if you
might still want me?

all these words
like darling and angel and dear
crowd my mouth
in a path to your ear.

the way of the world
has taken its toll
ravaged my body
and bitten my soul

and I ask
I am asking you
asking you if you
might still want me?

when I said:
I am bound to you forever
here's what I meant:
I am bound to you forever.

Behind the mountains where the Cuckoo sings
They tried to mine a miner for his golden veins
But a guy gets lonely and a guy gets sick
Evil woman you're bound to make a mess of it

She laid me down in her golden sheets
Lord save me, Lord I was knee deep
Well a hundred soldiers and a thousand men
Couldn't drag me down but I'm back on my knees again

Wanna leave, wanna go

That woman is a devil yes I know

But i know more than you think I do
You got a hole in your face where I can see through you
Well holy me, you've got devils in your sleeves
With the bull in your court you're bound
to make a mess of me

Wanna leave, wanna go
That woman is a devil yes I know

Ready

Darkness cover me

I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not ready to walk inside of where you're taking me
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not willing to compromise the man i want to be

Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time

Leave me be

I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm never going to tow the line of your conformity
I'm not ready to die, girl
Because of what you don't tell me
I'm not ready to leave the realm of anonymity

Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time

Get away from me

Think you're a little bit closer
To changing me
You're never winning me over
You're wasting time
