The Strings That Tie Us Together

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
An overwhelming dread that I'm always too late
An overabundance of warnings blaring red
I feel like I'm tied to you at the 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 a pull in the wrong direction
Will 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 talk into it
And when I'm brave enough I'll 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 a pull in the wrong direction
Will 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 situtation
Am I the only one retying?
I need to let you know
That I don't want to let you go
And that's why it's so trying
I'm new at this that's obvious
But please don't let it 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 a pull in the wrong direction
Will 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
