​ball & chain lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was blindsided
My trust one-sided
Thought we were timeless
Now you're side-eyein'
Without realizin' you were bad timing
And our love's dyin', know I can't fight, and know I—

[Pre-Chorus]
What do, what do you need from me?
(What do, what do, what-what)
Why do you put this fear in me?
(What do, what do, what-what-wha—)

[Chorus]
Try and take me, forever changing
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Ball-and-chain me, talk to me, baby
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
So I'm done tryin', no more nights cryin'
No more white-lyin', I can't keep pryin'
At the small details and bad people I—
And the needle, you stuck in my skin
[Pre-Chorus]
What do, what do you need from me?
(What do, what do, what-what)
Why do you put this fear in me?
(What do, what do, what-what-wha—)

[Chorus]
Try and take me, forever changing
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Ball-and-chain me, talk to me, baby
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Try and take me, forever changing
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Ball-and-chain me, talk to me, baby
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Outro]
I thought that we could grow
I guess you'll do that on your own
You made me hate you to the bone
But you'll always feel like home
