My hands are tied Oh I could be a victim When my tongue won't move You have tied with your heartstrings When I needed you most I couldn't find the 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 tied with your heartstrings again And when I needed you most I couldn't find the language When I needed you more I couldn't say a word When I needed you most I couldn't find the language When I needed you more I couldn't say a word One day a heap on the ground Next day I'm so proud 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 One day a heap on the ground Next day I'm so proud Today, I haven't got a clue Feels like a river of tears Today I'm gonna dry these eyes No When I needed you more Couldn't say a word Couldn't say a word
