She's a lonely girl, holding secrets deep inside
It's a crazy world, when your heart
and mind collide

A prisoners' action, she's trying to run away
Doesn't know what she'll find,
but she's got to get away


I hear you cry out in the heat of the night
I didn't know I was your ball and chain

Cry out just see the light
I didn't know I was the one to blame


There was a time we shared,
we had all the words to say
But somewhere along this road,

we went our separate ways

I hear you cry out in the heat of the night

I didn't know I was your ball and chain
Cry out just to see the light
I didn't know I was the one to blame

Cry out in the heat of the night
I didn't know I was your ball and chain


You turn and you walk away
Leaving me standing here
With nothing, no words to say

Your silence is clear

[solo]
