The Strings That Tie You Down

You're so close to tellin' me you're leaving Packin' up your things and leavin' town If you can walk away, the rest is easy Once you cut the strings that tie you down Just look me in the eye and say it's over Just tell me you don't want me around Once you say goodbye, it's gone forever Once you cut the strings that tie you down There's no way, I can picture me without you I still think of you in your wedding gown If I have to give you up, may God be with you Once you cut the strings that tie you down
