Hearts on a String
I've been wearing loves from my past
Around my neck, tryin' to make them last
Lessons unlearned keep hangin' around
Like a rusty ole anchor, been draggin' me down
I've been collectin' hearts on a string
Every love that went wrong is a charm on the chain
Grippin' my heart and chokin' me
It's time to break myself free
From these hearts on a string
Walkin' around like a marionette
A slave to these memories I can't forget
Gonna cut these wires off one by one
Let 'em all burn til the mornin' comes
I've been collectin' hearts on a string
Every love that went wrong is a charm on the chain
Grippin' my heart and chokin' me
It's time to break myself free
From these hearts on a string
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
No more bondage to heartache and lust
No more collectin' hearts on a string
Every love that went wrong is a charm on the chain
Grippin' my heart and chokin' me
Now I'm finally free
From these hearts on a string
Oh I'm finally free
From these hearts on a string
I've been wearin' loves from my past
