My heart is like strings The more you strain, the more pain you bring It’s held on as loose commitment For the sad news that comes, the more delinquent it gets For building a wall, as tall as hope When the wall crumbles, harsh words are set Regrets, words that have no rhyme Apologies and wishes are now out of time It’s strange the way love makes me feel Are you jealous? Or is it sealed The time is near, or can you tell us? My problems are here, with all the fancy chairs I see my loved one, standing right there As two lips touch, the ceremony starts I hear the bells and cheers, while none sees my tears You said it wouldn’t bother you, you promised it was true Now look at me and listen, you really are a fool I have one last string, holding onto a thread If I don’t come to work tomorrow, I’m probably already dead

Strings
My heart is like strings The more you strain, the more pain you bring It’s held on as loose commitment For the sad news that comes, the more delinquent it gets For building a wall, as tall as hope When the wall crumbles, harsh words are set Regrets, words that have no rhyme Apologies and wishes are now out of time It’s strange the way love makes me feel Are you jealous? Or is it sealed The time is near, or can you tell us? My problems are here, with all the fancy chairs I see my loved one, standing right there As two lips touch, the ceremony starts I hear the bells and cheers, while none sees my tears You said it wouldn’t bother you, you promised it was true Now look at me and listen, you really are a fool I have one last string, holding onto a thread If I don’t come to work tomorrow, I’m probably already dead
Letting go of my feelings and moving on
