I'm mourning for the past And I'm so glad it's over May the good and the bad lie Where it always should've been Through my rose-tinted glasses Don't seem as sweet as it used to 'Cause my heart was a castle But time is a battle And nobody wins Sometimes I wish I could start again So I wear my heart like a ball and chain But I still dream of you now and then But I guess some things never change I'm too young to be wise And I'm too old to still know so little So I repeat these lies In the hopes it'll help me forget All the moments of weakness Words that have left me so bitter But if time is a warning I still ain't sure Which side I'm on yet Sometimes I wish I could start again So I wear my heart like a ball and chain But I still dream of you now and then But I guess some things never change So I seek my redemption From the God I'm not sure I believe in And I sell my affection Till there's nothing left in my chest We don't need to be saviors Need something we can hold onto 'Cause time is a battle That you fight with yourself Time is a battle You fight with yourself Sometimes I wish I could start again So I wear my heart like a ball and chain But I still dream of you now and then But I guess some things never change (Sometimes I wish I could start again So I wear my heart like a ball and chain) But I still dream of you now and then But I guess some things never change
