From the recording A Tighter Knot
Lyrics
Not to You
The words are tangled and you try to take them all apart and put them back in place
they've got it figured out, that they don't have talk not to you
they twist themselves into a tighter knot a secret coiled up until you’re caught
they've got it all worked out, they don't have to talk not to you
I knew that I couldn’t hold on
so, I dropped the line and I left
the strength that I need just to love you the strength that I needed to help
It leaves you spinning and your head's a mess you sit and watch them burn the evidence
and they fix the blame lay it at your feet try and convince yourself once again
but the same old words come creeping in
replace the ones and you thought you were done
I knew that I couldn't reach you
so I stopped and stood there to watch you fall into memories and fade to
all the things I've forgot
