Shackled in the Summer

Started many years ago, we were alone in a room You turned my brown face blue, that's when I met you See, I was too young to think, too young to speak Yet you knew me, and baptized me in truth The truth of you You shackled me in summer Came floating on a breeze, and chained me to a lover that just won't let me be You shackled me in summer, came floating on a sea And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be You hate me cause I breathed I hated you berated me I needed you to free me from The misery in my soul See, all the fighting and the drama with my daddy and my mama You would whisk me away like a dream Emergency, you rescued me You shackled me in summer Came floating on a breeze And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be You shackled me in summer, came floating on a sea And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be You hate me cause I breathe You hate me cause I breathe You were the need that knew me best You were the place I hid my stress You were the place I laid my pain You were the cause I couldn't name Shackled me in summer. Came floating on a breeze Came floating on a breeze And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be You shackled me in summer, came floating on a sea And bound me to a lover that just won't let me be You hate me cause I breathe Because I breathe Because I breathe You hate me cause I breathe You hate me cause I breathe
