I've seen you flying, I've seen you fall When it comes to you girl, I've seen it all I've heard you cryin' like a little child When I couldn't comfort you Or make you smile Sometimes I get the feeling You forget that I'm a friend I just wish that you'd remember We wouldn't have to go through this again So hold your head a little higher I wanna see the fire in your eyes I don't believe that you've lost your desire That ball and chain It doesn't suit your style It don't suit your style I know it's dark now You think you're trapped There's no way forward and no way back You say this breaking will never mend The way you're feeling now will never end They say the darkest hour Is right before the dawn You know who your friends are They're right in front of you Still hanging on So hold your head a little higher I wanna see the fire in your eyes I don't believe that you've lost your desire That ball and chain It doesn't suit your style It don't suit your style I don't want to be your straight man Every time you fall apart But if you like that kind of movie Go find somebody else to play the part So hold your head a little higher I wanna see the fire in your eyes I don't believe that you've lost your desire That ball and chain It doesn't suit your style It don't suit your style It don't suit your style
