Lyrics of I wouldn't mind the shackles

I've 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 that every sound
Wouldn't send her memory crashing through 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 through loud and clear
It's sad but i admit, 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 every day is 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 everytime
I turn around here it comes again
Someone else is telling me
About the brand new love she wound up in

I tell myself they all mean well
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

I wouldn't mind the shackles, i knew the day she left
That i'd be wearing them until the end of time
But every day is 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

No, i wouldn't mind the shackles
If it wasn't for the rattle of the chain
