Ball and Chain

I know the drill

You got your ball and chain

It holds you down, the circle round

This story stays the same

It won't be long

And then your heart is frozen

The time has come to break away

You've got it all

What makes you hesitate?

Don't just wait for things

To blow up in your pretty face

Lift the weight

Try not to let it slip away

And you may find yourself again

I feel people just don't know you like I do

Why you're making it so hard to see

When there's something wrong

It goes on and on

I know the drill

You've got your ball and chain

I found out the second round

That some things never change

Open my eyes

And let the days come over me

And maybe it will go away

I feel people just don't know you like I do

Why you're making it so hard to see

When there's something wrong

It goes on and on

You'll see not everybody's here

To break your heart

So there is a price to pay

To be someone you're not

I know the drill

You've got your ball and chain

I found out the second round

That some things never change

Open my eyes

And let the days come over me

And maybe it will go away
