I've got shackles round my feet, they tie me to this place

They won't loosen up for love or money, or anything that's in between

They're telling me I'm not allowed to leave

You kept telling me that I should pack up just in case

'Cause you thought that I had better things in store

I couldn't do as I was told, so I told you I didn't love you anymore

But somehow you saw through it all

And you took out all the dark thoughts that I think

Now you don't return any of my calls

So I guess your heart was a one time thing

I wish I could take my time

And show you that I'll be fine

'Cause I would be nothing without you

Nothing without you

A couple hours into this long 13 hour drive

It's just me with the lights off and I think

I should've done better by you

Now I can feel the shackles burn their way into my skin

When I turn around and try to run away from all the dark thoughts

'Cause now I have nothing to prove and no one to lose

And next time I'll do better

'Cause if I make the same mistakes again

I wish I could take my time

And show you that I'll be fine

'Cause I would be nothing without you

Nothing without you

If I had the chance to say

"I'm sorry for how things changed"

'Cause I would be nothing without you

Nothing without you

And you shaped me

Into who I wanted to be

And you made me

Take a look at myself and see

I wish I could take my time

And show you that I'll be fine

Just think about how happy you could be

If I had the chance to say

"I'm sorry for how I changed"

'Cause I would be nothing without you

Nothing without you
