I Wouldn't Mind the Shackles

"I wouldn't mind the shackles"

i been known to have a drink or two
in the comfort of my home
it helps to minimize
the crazy things i hear
when im alone

youd think by now
every sound wouldnt
send a memory crashing
threw my brain
wouldnt mind the shackles
if it wadn't for the rattle of the chain

certain little things she used to say
they come threw loud and clear
its sad that i listen closer
than i did when she was hear
now every noise sounds like her voice
and im torn between the pleasure and the pain
wouldnt mind the shackles
if it wadn't for the rattle of the chain

i wouldnt mind the shackles
i knew the day she left id be wearing
them till the end of time
but everydays a battle
just to keep the burden of my heart
from interfearing with my mind
its knowing that ill always
have her last goodbye
ringing in my ears
driving me insane
wouldnt mind the shackles
if it wadn't for the rattle of the chain

now it seems like every time i turn around
here it comes again
someone else is telling me
about the brand new love she wound up in
i tell myself
they all mean well
but i still trim the like
to mention of her name
wouldnt mind the shackles
if it wadn't for the rattle of the chain

i wouldnt mind the shackles
i knew the day she left id be wearing
them till the end of time
but everydays a battle
just to keep the burden of my heart
from interefearing with my mind
its knowing ill always have her last goodbye
ringing in my ears
driving me insane
wouldnt mind the shackles
if it wadn't for the rattle of the chain

no i wouldnt mind the shackles
if it wadn't for the rattle of the chain
