Shackles, Pt. 2

Drinking to excess, throwing up in my bed

Waking up so ashamed, couldn't stomach the pain

Working extra hours, like a coward

It spiraled out of control

Looking like shit, convinced this was it

These cards I was dealt, didn't want no help

Head deep in sand, didn't want a hand

I didn't want to go home

I put these shackles around myself

I can't blame anyone else

I held back my life and yours

Looking back, you saved my life

Not just once, you saved me twice

I wallowed in pity and dishonesty

A sorry excuse I'd become

You gave me a chance to put things right

You gave mе a gift I'll cherish for life

You threw mе a rope and I'm glad of it

Our girl's future's now gold
