We're man and wife on paper but the things just ain't the same you
Lovers now are strangers how we've changed
It's the end of our forever and we just can't stay together
And I think it's time to break these paper chains

Paper chains can't hold us together
All we have in common is our name
Paper chains can't hold us forever
And I think it's time to break these paper chains

There's nothing left between us now that love has gone to pieces
Love that's lost is seldom found again
Why should we keep tryin' while our hearts are slowly dyin'
Don't you think it's time to break these paper chains

Paper chains can't hold us together
And I think it's time to break these paper chains
