ball and chain

Tear drops highlight the colour of your eyes

In the midnight rain you lie disguised

We’ve been screaming it out for hours

Not getting anywhere at all

I find you soaking wet

Shivering from the cold

The panic wells up

I tell you its all okay

 I was wrong anyway

The panic wells up

I want to leave but will you last without me

 

I wanna go

But I'm caught between living life and taking yours

Is this love?

 I don’t know

 I can't go a day without wondering

If you’re okay

I wanna leave

But I fear what that means you will do

 

I remember that time we fought

 You stormed off

 I found you over rushing waters

You thought of falling in

 That was the beginning of these thoughts

I love you but fear has got a bigger hold on me

 I remember when you said that you were leaving

I screamed and shouted

 But I felt suddenly free

But when you came back with tear drops in your glowing eyes

 I felt the ball and chain lock on me

 

I wanna go

But I'm caught between living life and taking yours

Is this love?

 I don’t know

 I can't go a day without wondering

If you’re okay

I wanna leave

But I fear what that means you will do

 

I pack my bags

 And look into your eyes

And tell you I have to leave

 Neither you nor I smile anymore

 I know this is hard to take

 But I know that you’ll be alright

One last kiss and I turn away

All I can do is pray you’ll be alright
