Straitjacket

I tried, I tried

I tried to write down how I felt

But the paper stayed empty

Says it better than I could’ve myself

I tried, I tried

To write down all my dreams

But the paper stayed empty

Talk about irony

And I’d die to feel your hand in mine

Hold on to something one more time

I try but my hands are tied

And it’s got me feeling like

I’m living in a straight jacket

I wanna hold you but I can’t

I’m giving into old habits

Reaching for the past

And I’m going kinda manic

‘Cause in my head I have it

In my head you’re in my arms again

And I can’t, I can’t, I can’t

Even walk my own house

The empty chair in the kitchen

I’ll never have the heart to throw out

And I can’t, I can’t

Even talk to myself

‘Cause there’s just something missing

You were the half of me that could’ve helped

And I’d die to feel your hand in mine

And hold on to something one more time

And I try but my hands are tied

And it’s got me feeling like

I’m living in a straight jacket

I wanna hold you but I can’t

I’m giving into old habits

Reaching for the past

And I’m going kinda manic

‘Cause in my head I have it

In my head you’re in my arms again

I’d die to feel your hand in mine

Hold on to something one more time

I try but my hands are tied

And it’s got me feeling like

I’m living in a straight jacket

I just wanna hold your hand

Going crazy as the time passes

I want it all again

I want it all again

I’m living in a straight jacket

I wanna hold you but I can’t

I’m giving into old habits

Reaching for the past

I’m going kinda manic

‘Cause in my head I have it

In my head you’re in my arms again
