Lyrics
Tied Up
Babe we built a monster
I finally got control
and the only thing it cost was my soul
Ideas are getting stranger
we barely stop to speak
and I'm afraid to see what's left of me
We should have done better
I know that it's a 'simple fact'
We could have been better
I just didn't see that
I was wrapped up in myself
Tied up in your strings
and looking for a way to escape
Wrapped up in myself
Tied up in your strings
And looking for a way to escape
We just kept on driving
didn't ever stop to sleep
until we finally reached New Orleans
Then on the drive back
I felt sadness like a heart attack
left me your junkie on the side of the road
We should have done better
I know that it's a 'simple fact'
We could have been better
I just didn't see that
I was wrapped up in myself
Tied up in your strings
and looking for a way to escape
Wrapped up in myself
Tied up in your strings
And looking for a way to escape
Maybe we'd do better
If we only got a 2nd chance
We should have been better
Just didn't see that
I was wrapped up in myself
Tied up in your strings
and looking for a way to escape
Wrapped up in myself
Tied up in your strings
And looking for a way to escape
There is no escaping who we are
