I still got the shackles on my soul
Hands on the ground and can't let go
I feel like a mess; scars upon my chest
Ain't no need to get sad after all the red flags you waved around
Yeah I know it's for the best, but I guess I'm just bitter now

I'm sorry for this rant; just hope it helps me move on
And that you take the chance to hear every word in this song
See I thought you were a keeper; guess I was wrong
Tried to get a little deeper; looked up and you were gone
Left town when it was perfect; came back a different person
Suddenly we were facing the fact that this wasn't working
Now I'm hurting, cuz it's been years since I cried
Now I'm caught up in the storm and it's making waves in my eyes
You say you tried; just need a break for your mind
But when you hugged me, it felt like the last time
And I'm just trying to be still; quit wishing that we'd still
Be taking it A Day at a Time, here's the sequel
So forlorn and upset; it's like I'm mourning a death
In a second, six months was gone and now we got nothing left
But some memories that I don't wanna regret
Wish I could treasure these, but now I gotta forget
And I bet you're sippin' on that tequila soda and lime
Playin' back my tracks like baby 'So Am I'
Or you're shut down and closed off and you still don't know why
And I just wish I didn't care and believe me I'm trying

But I still got the shackles on my soul
Hands on the ground and can't let go
I feel like a mess; scars upon my chest
Ain't no need to get sad after all the red flags you waved around
Yeah I know it's for the best, but I guess I'm just bitter now
Cuz it's still fresh

See I don't really like the way that we left it
Loose and open ended
And every day that passes I'm just feeling more offended
So I type a long message; sigh and almost send it
But my pride is telling me I gotta move on and just end it
But I'm stuck here in limbo; I know this ain't simple
And if you called me I'd prolly fall for you again oh
It's a sad circle; still I know you didn't intend it
But you opened up a wound and didn't bother to mend it
This was never a quest for the best version of yourself
You just wanted to keep me on the side; on a shelf
While you dug up all your skeletons to see how they felt
While my soul was decomposing in the pain that you dealt
K that's dramatic; I'm just feeling so erratic
I'm like an addict, when I hit the lows, I freak and I panic
I hope you're not falling into old arms and bad habits
But if you are, you're not the girl I thought you were, damnit
I don't deserve this; It wasn't worth this
You got me wishing that we didn't have a first kiss
And it's getting worse and I'm just trying to cure this
Cuz silence, it hurts, so I'm just filling it with verses

Because I still got the shackles on my soul
Hands on the ground and can't let go
I feel like a mess; scars upon my chest
Ain't no need to get sad after all the red flags you waved around
Yeah I know it's for the best, but I guess I'm just bitter now

It's been six days; no sleep
Just wanna be the old me
Still waiting and I feel so weak
Cuz I need that Malibu sky, to go pies, and red wine
Maybe I'll send you a text... we can be friends, right?
And it'd be so easy to forget why we parted
Before ya started being cold and clammed up, and guarded
And that's the sad, stupid cycle playing out in my head
And it gets so bad, too, I find I'm wishing we'd never met
I gotta relax, cuz truth is, we had some good times
And I'm glad that we crossed paths on that November night
You're not a bad person; just got some demons to fight
And the only thing that's certain is I can't be there by your side
Cuz it's time; no more fears
I gotta stand up and fly
It was a nice half a year, but I gotta take back my life
And I'm just trying to be clear
I still miss you; no lie
But I ain't crying no more tears, yeah
I guess this is goodbye

Cuz I still got the shackles on my soul
Hands on the ground and can't let go
I feel like a mess; scars upon my chest
Ain't no need to get sad after all the red flags you waved around
Yeah I know it's for the best, but I guess I'm just bitter now
Cuz it's still fresh
