Ain't gonna break these chains
Ought to throw away the key
'Cause a life on your own is better off without me

Hard to sleep away the pain
When you give me the time of day
Is this over? I don't know, it's hard to say
Hard to say
Hard to say

Here I am, all alone
Calling these walls my home
Waiting for you to go and make
Your way
Away from me
Is where you ought to be
And darling, I believe it is
Your fate
Don't even bother to help me
Oh, help me
With this jailbreak

Don't try to lend a hand
Better off a broken man
I know you see all this hurtin' in my eyes
You beat me black and blue
When you done told me the truth
I told you when I left it would be
A big surprise
A big surprise, big surprise

Here I am, all alone
Calling these walls my home
Waiting for you to go and make
Your way
Away from me
It's where you ought to be
And darling, I believe it is
Your fate
Don't even bother to help me
Oh, help me
This jailbreak
This jailbreak, yeah
This jailbreak
