Josh Rister - Ties That Bind

(verse 1)
There’s something pulling me away
That i can’t see and i can’t say
I’d blame you if you up and left tonight
I know you promised you would stay
But i think i owe you some leeway
Cause lord knows i ain’t been actin’ right
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
Scattered over my bedsheets
Right next to you, underneath my skin
I’d die for you, but i’ll hardly change
So leave me sittin’ in my shame
Ponderin’ over how and why and when

(chorus)
So go on, slip loose
From the ties that bind you to a man
Who cannot choose
What he wants from this life
Oh i love you like you’ll never know but i know
The ties that bind ain’t strong enough to hold

(verse 2)
I blame you as much i believe
As i think adam did blame eve
So darlin go and take care of yourself
I’ll miss you till the morning comes
When i silence that ole marching drum
And the war that i’ve been waging with myself
(chorus)
So go on, slip loose
From the ties that bind you to a man
Who cannot choose
What he wants from this life
Oh i love you like you’ll never know but i know
The ties that bind ain’t strong enough to hold

(refrain)
Though they may slip loose
The ties that bind still have me bound
Thinking of you
And what i want from this life
And i know you think i’ll never know, but i know
One day the ties that bind will finally hold
