From day one
You've had me wrapped
All the way around
Your finger
Pulling me deeper and deeper
Unraveling my heart
Like it was the easiest thing
Since first grade
Then the bonds were tangled
Then the bonds were cut
At an unexpected
Twist of fate
And you and I
Are desperately trying
To tie the parts back together
If only we had it easier
If only that knife
Wasn't constantly hanging over us
Just waiting to fall
And break us once more
Now we're being pulled so far apart
That my heart is simply
Unraveling itself
At the tight grip of your hand
And I watch all the threads
Lie on the floor
As I sit so vulnerable
Not quite out of your grasp
Still holding on for dear life
I let the bonds sit
And I watch them
Expecting them to simply repair themselves
For you and I
Had quite the bond
And now we have
Quite the knot
As I'm wrapped around
Your nice little finger
As we both hold on
Not wanting to let go
But your face is fading
And my heart is invading
My brain is screaming
I must be dreaming
For I'm simply a frail thread
Without your love
I'm completely empty
Without your caring love
Just a string
Holding on by a thread
Just a knot
Fallen on the floor
An unforgettable love
Lost to the world
And two broken hearts
Hidden from sight
You were my everything
And now you're gone
My favorite lover
Lost in the fog
If only it was different
If only I could have you
If only she didn't tear us apart
If only she wasn't crazy
If only we were older
If only we didn't have to wait so long
If only I wasn't so stupid
If only you weren't gone
If only the world was ours
If only just for another night
If only I could hold you in my arms
If only just one more night
If only this knot was gone
If only I didn't sing this song
If only you weren't the one
If only I could move on
If only
If only
If only
If only
Another "what if?"
Gone out the door
Another lover lost
To the unforgivable world
Another heart break
Worse than before
Another connection made
Only to be cut away
Another night of dreams
Holding you tight in my arms
Another wish to go back
Wanting to fix it all
Another unsatisfying ending
That I want to rewrite
Another decision made
By an undesirable fate
Another gone
A lover lost
My one and only
Gone with a cost
