What If there were no Ties?Why do I tie myself to others
Those who have the power to break me
Drag me down, beat me and mislead me
Why do I give them that opportunity to mistreat me
Is it because I want them to accept me?
Complement Or reflect me?
Maybe to Protect me
Do I need them because In my own way I'm scared of being alone?
Is that why when I call them on the phone my heart aches when I sometimes hear a dial tone?
I'd hate to be on my own
Left to face the cold brutal touch of the real world
With nothing to cover my naive mind or shield me from dark creatures who hide in plain sight
And try to devour my pride
Where would I hide if there were no ties?Maybe this Time
She's waiting for him change
much like most people do
She knows that he likes to play
gamesAnd never likes to lose
So she opens herself up
to his abuseAnd lets him disguise his actions
with his own version of the truth
She's being used
Much to his own advantage
All the things she does for him
Being taken for granted
He's damaged
But what's even worse is that she's unable to grow
With all the bad seeds he has planted
He's as cold as snow
Ice crystals hanging from his clothesBut everybody knows this routines is getting old
Except for her because she has goals,
Goals for their future
As as time goes by she begins to cry about how dry his feelings for her have becomeAlways thinking she was number one
She was knocked down off her pedal stool
Played as a fool
Still she waits for him to change
Even if ruins their livesOr if he dies without saying goodbye
Even if she breaks
She'll still wait
Let me Go
You can't live without me
Is that what you claim
Lets be honest nothing ever stays the same
We've changed you and I
I wanted to fly and you wouldn't even try
Then you would lie to keep me by your side
when you knew that I was doneWhen I'm about to walk away that's when you start to run
Its hard for me to admit but we're two ships that are taking two different trips
Or two pieces of a puzzle that no longer fit into the same image
I'm not a necessity I'm an accessory
You buy me nice things
Hoping I would clingWhat you didn't know was that I'm not impressed by how well you dress or how much money you spend
I'd rather you invest your time and strength instead
So you can give me your heart in exchange for a ring
Then let love do the rest
However you forget that you never tried you're best
And like the rest you're left with regrets
Trying to salvage whats left of what you wrecked
