The Ties That Bind lyrics

How did we get to this place?
In the beginning things were so damn easy
It seemed that everything I am was what you wanted
As we grew into our skin
Mine got thicker, as yours was wearing thin
Thinking bout the boys you missed, the lips un-kissed
What might have been

If you can’t keep on believing, if you don’t want me tonight
Then let me know so I can count the ties that bind
If you can’t feel my heart beating, you must be dead inside
So let’s realize, it’s time to let this die, time to let this die
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/dave_melillo/the_ties_that_bind.html ]
We built a beautiful lie, that any weak soul could not survive
It’s hard to find a reason to remain here
Cause our vacations only get you so far
Then they lead you to a darker space
Where love is what you feel no longer
We all know feelings so much stronger

If you can’t keep on believing, if you don’t want me tonight
Let me know so I can count the ties that bind
If you can’t see that I’m bleeding, then my veins are running dry
So let’s realize, it’s time to let this die, time to let this die

If you still can’t find a reason, if you got no tears to cry
Let’s realize, it’s time to let this die

If you can’t keep on believing, if you don’t want me tonight
Let me know so I can count the ties that bind
And if you can’t feel my heart beating, then I must be dead inside
So let’s realize, that it’s time to let this die, time to let this die
