[Chorus]
Feels like treading water
The way you been on my brain
Sinking to the bottom
Cut that shit off, yeah, you were my ball and chain
Ball and chain
You were my ball and chain
Ball and chain
You were my ball and chain

[Verse 1]
Time after time calling your bluff
You got me thinking that I wasn't enough
I’m a prisoner, you got me locked up, oh (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don't wanna leave you with a bitter taste
Said that I'll forget after blowing up in flames
What I’m supposed to do in all this pouring rain
All this pouring rain, all this pouring rain

[Chorus]
Still feels like treading water
The way you been on my brain
Sinking to the bottom
Cut that shit off, yeah, you were my ball and chain
Ball and chain
You were my ball and chain
Ball and chain
You were my ball and chain
[Verse 2]
Not after half way you call
Couldn't help it, I had to get involved, yeah
Not addicted but each time I fall, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, no

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't wanna leave you with a bitter taste
Almost in my primetime, waiting on the sidelines
Ready when the coaches call my name
Call my name, call my name

[Chorus]
Still feels like treading water
The way you been on my brain
Sinking to the bottom
Cut that shit off, yeah, you were my ball and chain
Ball and chain
You were my ball and chain
Ball and chain
You were my ball and chain

[Bridge]
If you come around
I might drown
If you come around, don't come around
Don't come around no more
If you come around
I might drown
If you come around, don't come around
Don't—
[Outro]
Yeah, still feels like treading water
The way you been on my brain
Sinking to the bottom
Cut that shit off, yeah, you were my ball and chain
