I broke the link that snapped the chains that bound my heart

I tell the world I'm glad each day you're gone

And people think I'm happy though we're many miles apart

When the truth is I still miss you off and on

Off and on from time to time now and then you cross my mind

I'm not free as the picture I've drawn yes I'm always gonna love you off and on

[ steel ]

I'd rather live a lie than not to live at all

But living's more than dying since you've gone

That's why I've retreated here behind this wall

Where I can turn your mem'ry off and on

Off and on...

Off and on off and on off and on
