Emotionally Tethered

Why you go, let your guard down?
We both know it's a lost cause
Hearing your name is a strange sound
Even when it's just a small thought

Expectations and let downs
Tried my best just to stay clear
Can't get lost even in a crowd
I always end up right back here

Emotionally tethered
How are we still?
Emotionally tethered

All these little pieces of you knotted in my veins
Slowly start to take over, don't ask if I'm okay
Cause all these little pieces of you knotted in my veins hurt
And nothing feels the same
It hurt

Emotionally tethered
How are we still?
Emotionally tethered
How are we still?

Kinda miss it what it once was
We both know that it won't last long
I'm too stubborn to give up
And I'm too scared that I might be wrong

All these little pieces of you knotted in my veins
Slowly start to take over, don't ask if I'm okay
Cause all these little pieces of you knotted in my veins hurt
(because you keep on hurting me)

Gotta stop the bleeding I know somethings gotta change
Pushing back my feelings but I still can't get away
Cause all these little pieces of you knotted in my veins hurt
And nothing feels the same
It hurt

Emotionally tethered
How are we still?
Emotionally tethered
How are we still?
Emotionally tethered
How are we still?
Emotionally tethered
How are we still?
