Lover's Knot

Verse 1 You tie me up with words I wanna hear Knot it tighter, tighter every year I'm tangled in your sweet talk, can't break free You're wrapping me in lies dressed like apologies I see the pattern but I still stay You pull, I follow—that's our game Forgiveness tastes like drowning, feels like home But loving you just leaves me all alone Chorus You're a lover's knot I can't untie Tighter when you cry, tighter when you lie Knot around my wrist, around my throat You're sinking and you're taking me below Lover's knot, can't break the hold Your rope's the only thing I know Verse 2 You say forever like it means a thing But forever's just until you need to sting I'm caught between who I was and who you made A woman turned to knots, a mess you've framed Your touch is poison wrapped in cologne I'm choking but I'm terrified alone You know exactly where to pull and squeeze I'm begging you but begging ain't release Bridge I used to be somebody's diamond Now I'm somebody's chain You love me but you're killing me And I'm too scared to walk away (Walk away, walk away) But I'm learning how to breathe Chorus You're a lover's knot I can't untie Tighter when you cry, tighter when you lie Knot around my wrist, around my throat You're sinking and you're taking me below Lover's knot, can't break the hold Your rope's the only thing I know Outro Tie it tighter, tie it tight I'm walking into the light Lover's knot, lover's knot I'm cutting you off
