Walk through graveyards,
Unafraid of death
How'd you get so dark?
Well there was light and then it left

People, faces, anxious thoughts
Wow, you changed so much
Yeah, I figured out what I really want

I don't hate who I am today
I hate the things that shaped me on the way
The only thing that's holding me back is the chains connected to my past

I'm so scared, I'm sorry
I can't be what all of you want me to be
The only thing that's holding me back is the chains connected to my past

Cold skin, cold hands
Means a warm heart
Maybe the sun will warm me
I could use a fresh start
Wish I could be a little more compassionate
I didn't want to hurt you
But I can't say it was an accident

I don't hate who I am today
I hate the things that shaped me on the way
The only thing that's holding me back is the chains connected to my past
I'm so scared, I'm sorry
I can't be what all of you want me to be
The only thing that's holding me back is the chains connected to my past

These chains, oh, they're heavy
Got me stumbling and falling, unsteady
I wonder, am I ready?
Can I let the past be buried?

These chains, oh, they're heavy
Got me stumbling and falling, unsteady
I wonder, am I ready?
I wonder, when will I be ready?

I don't hate who I am today
I hate the things that shaped me on the way
The only thing that's holding me back is the chains connected to my past
I'm so scared, I'm sorry
I can't be what all of you want me to be
The only thing that's holding me back is the chains connected to my past

I don't hate who I am today
I hate the things that shaped me on the way
The only thing that's holding me back is the chains connected to my past
I'm so scared, I'm sorry
I can't be what all of you want me to be
The only thing that's holding me back is the chains connected to my past
