The Strings That Tie Us Together

(专辑： The Strings That Tie Us Together - 2018)

I should not be writing a song about you
And all the things you unintentionally put me through
But I guess at some point this had to come out of my head
Better than another contemplating late night in bed

You give me
Fickle and falsified feelings of fate
And an overwhelming dread I'm always too late
An overabundance of warning signs blaring red
I feel like I'm tied to you arm-to-arm
'Cause something aches when you're too far
These days I have to be careful where I tread

'Cause heartstrings pull taut
Tangled wires have me caught

The strings that tie us together always fray
At my end I'm so scared
That I'm pulling the wrong direction
We'll put an end to this connection
The strings that tie us together always fray
At my end, oh
At this point I'm more fearful that my messages don't send

We built ourselves a cup telephone
But it always seems to be on hold
'Cause we're never at the right distance for a tight string
So when no one's around, I'm talking to it
And one of these days I finally do it
Spill my heart to you and say everything

'Cause heartstrings pull taut
Don't pull 'em out, they're all I've got

The strings that tie us together always fray
At my end I'm so scared
That I'm pulling the wrong direction
We'll put an end to this connection
The strings that tie us together always fray
At my end, oh
At this point I'm more fearful that my messages don't

I need clarification to simplify the situation
Am I the only one retying?
I need to let you know that I don't wanna let you go
And that's why it's so trying
I'm new at this, that's obvious, but please don't let that be
The scissors to cut us apart
Let me see how
I can be
Somebody who can
Handle holding this

The strings that tie us together always fray
At my end I'm so scared
That I'm pulling the wrong direction
We'll put an end to this fragile
The strings that tie us together always fray
At my end, oh
At this point I'm more fearful that my messages don't send

Don't send
Don't send
Oh, at this point I'm more fearful that
You'll never understand
