Not long ago neath the candles aglow
I gave you a ring to be true
Now in sorrow I find that you've changed your mind
For you broke the vows that I carried through

So I'm breaking the tie that binds
I'm leaving these heartaches behind
After all you've put me through it's all I can do
Oh I'm breaking the tie that binds
[ guitar ]
Oh how I tried my heartaches to hide
I tried to believe you would change
Last last was the end when I saw you with him
So I'm breaking the tie that binds

Oh I'm breaking the tie that binds...
Yes I'm breaking the tie that binds
