Lyrics

CUT THE CORD
copyright © John A Read 2000

Words like chains that tightly bind,
Fight to be the most unkind.
Cherished love that hurts to touch,
Pride that crows like fools.
Touching fingers teasing me,
Swimming in a desperate sea.
Stopping you from reaching me.
Waving you goodbye.

Cut the cord
Say goodbye.
Plenty more stars
In the sky.
Don?t look back,
Go on somehow.
No regrets,
It?s finished now.

Tug of war without a rope,
Loving you without a hope.
Fifteen rounds and hurting now,
Waiting for the bell.
Tear along the dotted line,
Separate your heart from mine.
Better luck another time,
Everything must end.

Sacrificed my hopes and dreams.
Tried to work out what it means.
Put my life on hold for you.
Sacrifice unseen.
Tried to mend your love with mine.
Couldn?t see the warning sign.
Didn?t have enough to spare,
Saw it fall apart.

Cut the cord
Say goodbye.
Plenty more stars
In the sky.
Don?t look back,
Go on somehow.
No regrets,
It?s finished now.
