Nelly Furtado Palaces

It could take a little

It could take a little time

But I think we'll get it right

This life is only

Only real life when it hurts

But I think that we'll survive, survive

 

We built palaces

Imagining everything we want but can't have

Real life ain't so fantastic

But you and me, we could've had

Everything in our wildest dreams

Palaces are deceiving

 

We could've had it all without the price that we paid

We could've had it all without the chains

That palaces make

 

Break free from the chains

Break free from the chains

Into love

Into love, let's

Break free from the chains

Break free from the chains

Into love

 

It could take a little

It could take a little time

But this life could be so blessed

If we keep it simple

Saying no to the madness

And I'll take care of the rest, the rest

 

We built palaces

Imagining everything we want but can't have

Real life ain't so fantastic

But you and me, we could've had

Everything in our wildest dreams

Palaces are deceiving

 

Break free from the chains

Break free from the chains

Into love

Into love, let's

Break free from the chains

Break free from the chains

Into love

Into love

 

We built palaces but palaces fade

But we still say

We built palaces

Imagining everything we want but can't have

Real life ain't so bad

 

Break free from the chains

Break free from the chains

Into love

Into love, let's

Break free from the chains

Break free from the chains

Into love

Into love, let's

Break free from the chains

Break free from the chains

Into love

Into love, let's

Break free from the chains

Break free from the chains

Into love

Into love
