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 straitjacket Wanna hold you but I can't I'm giving in to 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 straitjacket Wanna hold you but I can't I'm giving in to 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 straitjacket I just wanna hold your hand Going crazy as the time passes I want it all again I want it all again

And I'm living in a straitjacket Wanna hold you but I can't I'm giving in to 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
