Lyrics

Chain

[Verse 1: Minnie]

You and I

Stare eye to eye, so intertwined

We don't even speak

Silence's so clear, mm

[Pre-Chorus: Yuqi]

The devil you made me

Is uncontrollable

Patiently creepin' into your body and mind

Need no invite

[Chorus: Miyeon, Minnie]

So, chain me

Like I'm the only air you're breathin'

Your fingertips touch my skin

I don't want you to set me free, mm

Erase me

Until I'm only in your memory

Your pain, my love is so cold

I don't want you to set me free

[Verse 2: Soyeon, Shuhua]

Hear your voice echoing in my head

Every step I take brings me closer to hell

But it's a game I'm dying to play

If it's a maze I'm finding my way

No escape if you say I'm yours

Whisper my name

I'll answer your call

Won't let you fall, mm

[Pre-Chorus: Yuqi]

The devil you made me

Is uncontrollable

Patiently creepin' into your body and mind

Need no invite

[Chorus: Minnie, Miyeon]

So, chain me

Like I'm the only air you're breathin'

Your fingertips touch my skin

I don't want you to set me free, mm

Erase me

Until I'm only in your memory

Your pain, my love is so cold

I don't want you to set me free

[Outro: Soyeon]

You're going crazy over me, can't run, run

See me when you fall asleep, can't run, run

I want your chains all over me

I don't want you to set me free
