Ropes

(album: Us - 2017)

I fought every chance of us getting here
But somehow we always come back
Cause slamming doors was our way of making us a home
And I never thought we wanted that

Oh, so, I wanna know which way to go
Cause the things we say, and the things we don't Are like ropes
Yeah, they're keeping us tied down

And I'm trying hard to fix it
But I just can't get enough
And my heart is my worst witness
Cause it knows that I'm in love
It knows, it knows that I'm in love
It knows that I'm in love, it knows
But when we, fight our tongues tie us down like they're ropes

You were afraid of the mirrors and what they'd show
But I never cared about what happened last
Thought you'd let go, let go, so that we could get home, but you kept holding on
Now we can't seem to pass the past

Oh, so, I wanna know which way to go
Cause the things we say, and the things we don't are like ropes
Yeah, they're keeping us tied down

And I'm trying hard to fix it
But I just can't get enough
And my heart is my worst witness
Cause it knows that I'm in love
It knows, it knows that I'm in love
It knows that I'm in love, it knows

We can't tell ourselves
That we don't need some help
Because this hurts like hell
No matter what we do
And I seem tied to you I don't wanna run
I just want me and you to be okay

And I'm trying hard to fix it
But I just can't get enough
And my heart is my worst witness
Cause it knows that I'm in love
It knows

And I'm trying hard to fix it
But I just can't get enough
And my heart is my worst witness
Cause it knows that I'm in love
It knows, it knows that I'm in love

But when we, fight our tongues tie us down like they're ropes
