Straitjacket lyrics
by VOILÀ
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
