 My hands  are tied,  oh I could be a victim
 When my tongue  won't move,  you have it tied  with your heartstrings
 When I needed you most,  I couldn't find language
 When I needed you more,  I couldn't say a word
 My hands  truly tied,  yeah I know  I'm a prisoner
 When my tongue  wouldn't move,  you have it tied  with your heartstrings again and
 When I needed you most,  I couldn't find language
 When I needed you more,  I couldn't say a word
 When I needed you most,  I couldn't find language
 When I needed you more,  I couldn't say a word
One  day:  a heap on the ground
 (sequence 1)
  Next day: I'm so proud
 (sequence 1)
  Today: I don't know
I  don't know  Hey...
 Your hands  are cold,  that's why I try  to contain you
 Now my words  are cursed,  ember from the ashes.
 (sequence 1)
  One day: a heap on the ground
 (sequence 1)
  Next day: I'm so proud
 (sequence 1)
  Today: haven't got a clue
 Feels like a river of tears
 Today, I'm gonna dry these eyes
  (Ahhhhhhhhhhhh) No!
  (Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
 When I needed you more,  I couldn't say a word
 (sequence 1) (sequence 1)
  Couldn't say a word.
