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 I?m alone.
You?d think by now every sound wouldn't
Send a memory crashing?
Threw my brain
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain.
Certain little things she used to say
They come though loud and clear
It?s sad but I admit that I listen closer
Than I did when she was here
Now every noise sounds like her voice
And I?m torn between the pleasure and the pain
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain.
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles
I knew the day she left that I?d be wearing?
Them until the end of time
But everyday?s a battle
Just to keep the burden of my heart
From interfering with my mind.
It?s knowing that I?ll always
Have her last goodbye
Ringing in my ears
Driving me insane
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles
If it, wasn'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
But I still tremble
At the mention of her name
I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain.
No I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles
If it, wasn't for the rattle of the chain.
