Rope Around My Wrist

DARK POP 92 BPM 2:32

She stands in their apartment doorway at dawn, his hoodie still hanging on the chair, her hand reaching for it then pulling back. The cord of the blinds catches her eye—the same knot he used to tie when he'd leave, tight and deliberate, like he was tethering something. She lets her arm drop and walks past it.

Lyrics

Verse 1 You tied me up in all your promises Hands so tight I forgot how to let go Your voice was velvet, your grip was ice I kept asking for more, you kept holding tighter Chorus Rope around my wrist, rope around my throat You said forever like it was a cage Rope around my wrist, I'm cutting through tonight You can't own what's already dead Verse 2 I wore the bruises like your jewelry Told myself the pain meant you cared But love ain't a leash and a lullaby It's letting someone go when they need to run Chorus Rope around my wrist, rope around my throat You said forever like it was a cage Rope around my wrist, I'm cutting through tonight You can't own what's already dead Bridge I used to think leaving meant I'd break Now I know breaking is how I heal Your hands are still reaching but I'm already gone You're holding onto smoke Outro Rope around my wrist Not anymore, not anymore Not anymore
