Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up and I feel like shit

I don't remember last night

I'm getting sick of this

I hit the bottle when I got off stage

And got piss drunk stupid and I went in a rage

I think I might have got in a fight

Because my knuckles were bloody

And I don't feel alright

I hit the bottom and I don't even care

Some say I'm going to hell but I am already there

[Verse 2]

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

[Verse 3]

I want to be free, from this ball and chain

And be free, from this life of pain

And be free, from this ball and chain

I want to be free from you

[Verse 4]

Now I'm full of guilt and shame

I can't point a finger 'cause there's no one to blame

So I say I'll never do it again

But when the sun goes down

You are my only friend

I'm thinking that I am starting to see

I have become everything I never wanted to be

I'm really getting sick of myself

'Cause when I look into the mirror

I see somebody else

[Verse 5]

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

[Verse 6]

I want to be free, from this ball and chain

And be free, from this life of pain

And be free, from this ball and chain

I want to be free from you

[Verse 7]

I want to be free (Be free) from this ball and chain

And be free (Be free) from this life of pain

And be free (Be free) from this ball and chain

I want to be free from you

[Verse 8]

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

So sick and tired of being sick and tired

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

So sick and tired of being sick and tired

[Verse 9]

I want to be free, from this ball and chain

And be free, from this life of pain

And be free, from this ball and chain

I want to be free from you

[Verse 10]

I want to be free (Be free) from this ball and chain

(Be free, be free)

Be free (be free) from this life of pain

(Be free, be free)

Be free (be free) from this ball and chain

(Be free, be free)

I want to be free from you

[Verse 11]

I want to be free from you
