I got shackles round my feet
They're tying me to this place
They won't losen up for love or money
Or anything that's in between
They're telling I'm not allowed to leave

You kept telling me that I should pack up just in case
That 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 dont 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 thirteen 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 shape me into who I wanted to be
And you made me take a look at myself and see

I wish I could take me 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
