lyrics

Tied to a String

I can hardly remember when we met the first time.
I don’t think I liked you, I guess I’m not always right.
How could I have known then, that we’d be here now?
Some call it magic, but it doesn’t matter how.

You fall into my arms and I fall apart.
You are tied to a string, that’s tied to my heart.
You mean more than you’ll ever know, more than you’ll ever know.

You still don’t believe me but you’re aging like wine.
Although I call you beautiful, you just roll your eyes.
If I’m broken and tired, when I’m too weak to stand I just think of you baby, and I rise up again.

You fall into my arms and I fall apart.
You are tied to a string, that’s tied to my heart.
You mean more than you’ll ever know, more than you’ll ever know.

It’s killing me to see you cry.
I want to say that; everything is gonna work out, I will never let you down, I’m on your side.

You fall into my arms and I fall apart.
You are tied to a string, that’s tied to my heart.
Baby please don’t let me go. Never let go.
