Shackles

My pain, my tragedy, the man I used to be These Shackles fit my wrists, still so perfectly My fears, my hopes, my dreams, feeling's gone away It takes much more of me, to feel some type of way And if they wasn't so tight I think I'd be OK But I'm not alright Though I wonder every day If I'll be alright If I'll go back to my old ways Able to feel somethin' when I got someone around My past, my used to be's, always in the way My memory is killin' me, it's fixed on yesterday My heart beats out my chest, a cage too small for me These Shackles hold me back from how I'm s'posed to be And if they wasn't so tight I think I'd be OK But I'm not alright Though I wonder every day If I'll be alright If I'll go back to my old ways Able to feel somethin' when I got someone around And if they wasn't so tight I think I'd be OK But I'm not alright And I wonder every day
