Ropes ft. KJ McNeill, Joshua Bessinger & Sharon Martin Lyrics

You reap the ending that you sow

Tug my heart strings even though

In time your forfeit won the fight

You went and left so I'd be right

Seesaws bobbing up and down

Treetops swaying with their trunks fixed to the ground

Mothers rock their babies to and fro

The pendulum swings

Which way you never know

You never know

Ropes drawn tight with strain

Pull us different ways

Tears like drops of rain

Sink in before it frays

Ropes brace us up so brace yourself

The strain is heart to take

And we break

The wind is blowing east to west

Day turns to night

History's the rest

Trying hard to just give in

And let the ending now begin

Ropes drawn tight with strain

Pull us different ways

Tears like drops of rain

Sink in before it frays

Ropes brace us up so brace yourself

The strain is heart to take

And we break

A rope that pulls the corset taught

And set my stomach in a knot

A rope of pearls wrapped as a noose is

Reminding me there's no excuses

Ropes that bear the sails of ships

Slipping through my fingertips

A rope that draws the curtain

And all we know for certain is

Ropes drawn tight with strain

Pull us different ways (for goodness sake)

Though my heart will break (ropes brace us up so brace yourself

the strain is heart to take)

I will not break

Ropes drawn tight with strain

Pull us different ways

Tears like drops of rain

Sink in before it frays

Ropes brace us up so brace yourself

The strain is heart to take

And we break

And we break
