Tethered - Richard Walters

I’ve shivered out a thousand thoughts of you

And no one else

I found the weight of words to be too much

And not enough somehow

I’m tethered to the ground you left me on

I sleep it away

I’ll twist the knife for you just one more time

I’ll say I never knew you

I’ve got the way to make it right, I

Put you out of my mind

And out of my life

I’ve got the way to make it right, I

Put you out of my mind

And out of my life

Should a man be ruled by questions he can’t answer

An unspoken silence

Pretend the storm will bring this house of cards down

And there’s no rebuilding

And the trees come down, the windows fall to pieces

These walls are crumbling

And the rain, it comes inside our house and we’re soaking

I think we’re done for

I’ve got the way to make it right, I

Put you out of my mind

And out of my life

I’ve got the way to make it right, I

Put you out of my mind

And out of my life

My life, my life, my life

My life, my life, my life, my life

I’m never coming back here again, no

You can talk but I won’t listen

I’m never coming back here again, no

Oh, no

I’ve found the way to make it right, I

Put you out of my mind

And out of my life

I’ve got the way to make it right, I

Put you out of my mind

And out of my life
