Lyrics
I got a ball and chain
Feeling restricted or tied down
Inside these hallowed veins
Within the core of one's being
On to something else, or just the same
Uncertain if moving on to something new or staying the same
I'm over it, I'm over you
Expressing a sense of being done or finished with a situation or person
But then I heard your voice
A moment of surprise upon hearing the person's voice
You left me waiting all alone
Feeling abandoned while waiting for someone
Don't tell me nothing's ever wrong
Rejecting the idea that everything is always fine
You left me waiting (Carry a Light In, Carry a Light In)
Repetition of feeling abandoned, urging to carry a light
You left me waiting, all alone (Tell me about it, tell me about it)
Reiteration of loneliness, inviting someone to share their thoughts
Don't tell me nothing
Emphasizing a request not to deny that something is wrong
Don't tell me nothing's ever wrong
Insisting that there is a problem or issue
There's a growing lot, awaiting what was lost
Referring to a group of people experiencing a sense of anticipation for what was lost
Their tethered to before
Connected to the past, possibly restrained by it
Their ships had hit the rocks
Describing a situation where plans or relationships have failed
I'd be over it, i'd be over you
Claiming to be over a situation or person
But then I heard your voice
A recurrence of surprise upon hearing the person's voice again
You left me waiting
Repetition of the feeling of being left waiting
You left me waiting, all alone
Reiterating the sense of abandonment and solitude
Don't tell me nothing
Repeating the request not to deny that something is wrong
Don't tell me nothing's ever wrong
Emphasizing the persistence of problems or issues
