I can feel you deep inside of me
You're an uninvited guest
Follow me round trying to bring me clown
You always put me to the test
It's time to cut you loose
I got to get away
You're like a ball and chain
Driving me insane
Ball and chain I'11 never be the same
I have seen you a long long time ago
Never thought you'd come my way
Taking over, you took my heart and soul
Well, that's too high a price to pay
It's time to cut you loose
I got to get away
You know you hurt me
You wanna make me crawl
But I will not live on my knees
I took my last breath
I was condemned to death
But I got rid of your disease
Now I'm finally free, I can do what I please
