Strings

(album: The Body Remembers - 2021)

Everywhere I look strings
People saying What's in it for me?
Nothing coming my way for free
And it ain't pretty no
Everywhere I look strings
Don't you know how much it stings?
I don't want nothing, no part
Unless it's the strings of your heart

Unless it's the strings of your heart

Ooooh
Give me your heart strings
Give me your heart strings

He said he wanted me
I was his forever
But I was with him
And he was with her
When he didn't pick me
Well, I moved on
Then he came back to me
But, I was long gone

In the wake of his indecisive love
I found my wings and I flew above it
Then he came back to me
Thinking I would still be where I stood
I said I wish I could but

Everywhere I look strings
People saying What's in it for me?
Nothing coming my way for free
And it ain't pretty, no
Everywhere I look strings
The bell of duality rings
I don't want nothing, no part
Unless it's the strings of your heart

Unless it's the strings of your heart
Mmmm
Give me your heart strings
Give me your heart strings

You know people move on
You don't love them back one day they're gone
Not the story that you want to hear
But, love don't go Yeah, well maybe next year

Why ya gotta celebrate
Learn to appreciate
Follow all the twists in your twisted fate
Cause' now it's for me that I'm here

And my pain is not an opportunity
It's a little too little too late you see
I was gonna let you bring out the best in me
But when you didn't
When I was in it
The faith I lost in you I found in me

Everywhere I look
No one saying, what's in it for me?
'Cause I'm finally free
And it's so pretty oh
Everywhere I look
Don't mind the baggage love brings
But if it's not filled with the purest of things
It ain't coming with me
Ain't coming with me

Don't bring, don't bring no strings
Ohhhh
Give me your heart strings
Give me your
Give me your love

Your unconditional, can't live without me, do anything for love
Ooooooh
No strings
No strings
No more strings
