The Strings That Tie You Down

You're so close to tellin' me you're leaving

Packin' up your things and leavin' town

If you can walk away the rest is easy

Once you cut the strings that tie you down

Just look me in the eye and say it's over

Just tell me you don't want me around

Once you say goodbye, it's gone forever

Once you cut the strings that tie you down

There's no way I can picture me without you

I still think of you in your wedding gown

If I have to give you up, may God be with you

Once you cut the strings that tie you down
