Story Behind The Song

The names have been changed to protect the guilty

Song Description

Licking the salt out of the wounds of love...

Lyrics

When I met you I hated myself
You should me that hating yourself ain?t the worst you can do
You turned me inside out, pinned my heart right to my sleeve
Made me go begging for dignity
When I met you there were lessons that I hadn?t learned
I?m through with them now, I?ve been thoroughly burned

Chloe, I know you had to be free
But when they came to let you out they had drag to me
God knows I loved your sweet chains
And I would pray to be in your arms, always

When I met you I didn?t know what I had
But I can look around now and see that it wasn?t so bad
But I ain?t gonna cry about it, I won?t fight and I won?t run
But it?s gonna be a long time before I love someone

Chloe, I know you had to be free
But when they came to let you out they had drag to me
God knows I loved your sweet chains
And I would pray to be in your arms, always

Well it?s my own heart, I?m looking at these days
Taking some time and checking on some things
Everybody lays the claim that they know what?s best for you
But I?ve tangled with truth, and I do too

Chloe, I know you had to be free
But when they came to let you our they had to drag me
And I love your sweet chains
And I would pray to be in you arm always
Yes, I would die to be in your arms, always
