Your words, they cut, they dig so deep

A thousand wounds that never sleep

You left me standing in the dark

Bound beneath the weight, each mark

I try to heal, but scars won’t mend

A love that breaks but doesn’t end

The ties that hold, they keep me near

But all they bring is pain and fear

Tethered to the pain, I stay

Bound to the hurt, day by day

Every scar, a mark of us

Of love that broke but left its trust

I try to walk, but feel the chain

A tethered heart bound to the pain

I hold on tight, though I should run

Tethered to pain that won’t be done

In silence, shadows fall in line

Marking places lost in time

Every word, every kiss

Leaves me bound in a painful bliss

I reach to break but can’t let go

Tethered to the hurt I know

I walk through flames but feel no light

Just the ache of holding tight

In every heartbeat, there’s a thread

A tie that binds, a word unsaid

I pull away, but fall again

Bound by memories and chained by pain

Tethered to the pain, no end

Holding on, too far to bend

The ties are deep, they dig in slow

But it’s all I have, it’s all I know

Tethered to the pain, I stay

Bound to the hurt, day by day

Every scar, a mark of us

Of love that broke but left its trust

I try to walk, but feel the chain

A tethered heart bound to the pain

I hold on tight, though I should run

Tethered to pain that won’t be done
