Isobel Holly - Ropes Lyrics

It's happened again, I let another one fool me
As I lie with my head in the sky carelessly watching the world go by

And the memories are bleeding ink into the walls
Through the cracks they're seeping, there to remain

Though you're not in the room, your shadow's still creeping
Though you're not cradling me, your love is still fixed upon my lips

How do I burn the ropes you tied
I can't light the fire though I've tried
The spark it flickers and fades away
Then why did our love go up in flames?

I thought it was real, the way it felt when you held me
As we climbed up a tree and we sheltered from the rain
I'd never felt so safe

Though you're not in the room, your smell it still lingers
Though you're not cradling me, your kiss is still fixed upon my skin

How do I burn the ropes you tied
I can't light the fire though I've tried
The spark it flickers and fades away
Then why did our love go up in flames

How do I burn the ropes you tied
I can't light the fire though I've tried
The spark it flickers and fades away
Then why did our love go up in flames

How do I burn the ropes you tied
How do I burn the ropes you tied
How do I burn the ropes you tied
How do I burn the ropes you tied
