[Verse 1]
When I fall, I fall hard
My body bruises at your touch
My ankles bear these lover's scars
The weight is heavy, but necessary
You'll never change, my ball and chain

[Chorus]
My ball and chain, you will remain
You've always been my ball and chain

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
She lingers somewhere I cannot find
My lover stands upon the shore
It's me she should be waiting for
The distance binds us, locked in twain
You will remain my ball and chain

[Chorus]
My ball and chain, you will remain
You've always been my ball and chain

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
My ball and chain, you will remain
You've always been my ball and chain

[Outro]
You've always been my ball and chain
