I Wouldn't Mind The Shackles Lyrics - Darryl Worley

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
