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..
on and 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'll go away
