"Cutting Ties" lyrics

"Cutting Ties"

It was my ambition
To align my dreams with yours
Who wants to be different
If it means you're closing doors?
In between the bridges
'Neath the pink and orange sky
When the train rolls in, I'll be shedding skin
As my heart is switching lines

But now I'm all out of tries
And I'm all out of lies
That I've told myself
There's no getting it right
When you're just tryna get by
But it feels like hell
What's the point anymore?
I could just let it go
I could just cut the ties with the whole town
When you're all out of tries
And you're all out of time
It's an easy, easier goodbye
Goodbye

I was just a witness
To everybody else's show
Full of homesickness
Stumbling down the cobblestones
It's a dirty business
But you're dying to belong
I'm missing the girl who's in love with the world
Whatever happened to her?

But now I'm all out of tries
And I'm all out of lies
That I've told myself
There's no getting it right
When you're just tryna get by
But it feels like hell
And what's the point anymore?
I could just let it go
I could just cut the ties with the whole town
When you're all out of tries
And you're all out of time
It's an easy, easier goodbye
Goodbye

And I knew I was letting go
But with you, there's no way to know
Now I'm all out of tries
And I'm all out of lies
That I've told myself
There's no getting it right
When you're just trying to get by
But it feels like hell

What's the point anymore?
I could just let it go
I could just cut the ties with the whole town
When you're all out of tries
And you're all out of time
It's an easy, easier goodbye
Goodbye
