She said I got your name tattooed
She said I'm feelin' kinda useless now
That you're gone
I said I swear I'll be right back
My train derailed, came off the tracks
And now, I'll sit here, wonderin' this year
Well I just can't help but wonder where you been
A thousand miles away, I'm still a sinner
It's just too late to turn back time
Tellin' me I'm still in my prime
The ball and chain I carry never withers
The ball and chain I carry never withers
The ball and chain I carry never withers
I'm in too deep, I know I've caused alot of pain
I'm feelin' weak because my heart is full of shame
I wish that you could understand
Needles stabbed into my hands
Poisoning myself until I shiver
So don't watch me destroy myself
Go fall in love with someone else
No more promises I can't deliver
The ball and chain I carry never withers
The ball and chain I carry never withers
Darlin' it bends but it don't break
I've said it a thousand times before
A selfish heart will only ever take
There's no method to this mess
The demons in my mind always seem to take precedence
But I think about you time to time
I hope that you're doin' fine
And that one day you might just reconsider
I'm not the man I was back then
My vices have been traded in
And now I'm seeing things so much clearer
Well I just can't help but wonder where you been
A thousand miles away, I'm still a sinner
It's just too late to turn back time
Tellin' me I'm still in my prime
The ball and chain I wear it never withers
The ball and chain I wear it never withers
