Darryl Worley - I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles lyrics

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 though 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'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 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’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 No I wouldn’t mind the shackles if it wasn’t for the rattle of the chains
