[Verse 1] Messages sent to a Government Official I wrote them down with shaking hands It was not me My mind held in chains [Pre-Chorus] My finger moved My mouth went dry I watched it happen From the inside [Chorus] It was not me My mind held in chains It was not me My actions not mine (held in chains) (held in chains) [Verse 2] Messages sent to a Programme Director of Shared Services Programme Old Same cold sentence Same locked-up soul [Pre-Chorus] I begged the page To leave me clean But every word Still carried me [Chorus] It was not me My mind held in chains It was not me My actions not mine (held in chains) (held in chains) [Bridge] If you read between The lines I left You’ll see the split Between the breath and flesh [Final Chorus] It was not me My mind held in chains It was not me My actions not mine It was not me My mind held in chains (held in chains) (held in chains)
