I 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 onetime 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 shave 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
