the string

What's wrong

I don't want to feel bad every time you cross my mind

So, tell me how to cope

Surrounded by this awkward silence every time you're close

I'm scared to be alone

But if you're the one who wants me then explain how

I feel so alone?

I feel so alone…

But it's now over

I'm not asking for forgiveness

I'm asking for reason

I don't need another moment

You look so hopeful

But inside of me there's something

That tells me to stop

But you always find a way

To keep pulling the string

I don't love you anymore (I don't love you anymore)

Isn't that tragic?

All this sorrow made it vanish

All the love that once grew old

Now what's left is that knot on my throat that keeps wanting to

Get out of my voice

The dust on the furniture we didn't even get to buy

'Cause I had all the fault

Was it really "my fault"?

But it's now over

I'm not asking for forgiveness (I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry)

I'm asking for erasure

I don't need another moment (I don't need another moment)

You look so hopeful

But inside me there's something

That keeps telling me to hold it

Keeps telling me to grab every reason every step away

That I felt I had to give

Am I really that hopeless

Inside of me there's something

That tells me to stop (stop, stop)

But you always find a way

To keep pulling the string
