Pull

Nothing pulls quite as hard
Like the lost days that never start
Like the days you spent in the dark
You’re pulling on my broken heart

For reasons that we never know 
the winter rain and the summer snow 
down above or up below 
we turn it ‘round before we go 
Catch a flight or ride the train 
our destiny is still the same 
we chose to wear these heavy chains 
they tear our flesh and our remains 

But nothing pulls quite as hard
As you pull the strings of my heart
One day it will come clean apart
No nothing pulls quite as hard
