Shackled in the Summer

Started many years ago, we were alone in a room
You turned my brown face blue, that's when I met you
See, I was too young to think, too young to speak
Yet you knew me, and baptized me in truth
The truth of you

You shackled me in summer
Came floating on a breeze, and chained me to a lover that just won't let me be
You shackled me in summer, came floating on a sea
And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be
You hate me cause I breathed

I hated you berated me
I needed you to free me from
The misery in my soul
See, all the fighting and the drama with my daddy and my mama
You would whisk me away like a dream
Emergency, you rescued me

You shackled me in summer
Came floating on a breeze
And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be
You shackled me in summer, came floating on a sea
And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be
You hate me cause I breathe

You hate me cause I breathe

You were the need that knew me best
You were the place I hid my stress
You were the place I laid my pain
You were the cause I couldn't name

Shackled me in summer. Came floating on a breeze
Came floating on a breeze
And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be
You shackled me in summer, came floating on a sea
And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be
You hate me cause I breathe
Because I breathe
Because I breathe
You hate me cause I breathe
You hate me cause I breathe
