Hanging By a String

Hanging by a String By Kevin Robey November 9, 2013 I’ve been holding on for too long To the branches of our hearts The connection still feeling strong But I know it’s gone and we’re apart Saw you yesterday, two pillows on your bed Runaway my mind, just let it sail away In and out my head with all the things you said The voices up above tell me what to say Back and forth through these tireless crimes Flashing every time I see your fading smile Just let me go, I’ll forget you over time Stop looking for me in every store aisle In the places we both know I can feel you next to me But I’m too proud to let it show It hurts that you’re replacing me So while I'm hanging by a string Don’t tell me your emergencies Forget the lies that gave me wings The branches break, I’ll falling free *listening to* ["voices on a string" by Thursday]
