Lyrics Tethered - Richard Walters

Tethered

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
