Tie a string around your waist Show me where you hold your pain Show me where my hand should go Tell me where you keep your hope And the older I get The more I understand We are all just barely hanging on (Tie a string around your waist) Tie a string around your waist Wear it like a wedding ring Remembering That you're afraid of letting go That you're afraid of everything All the love you lost it's not gone It's not gone All the love you gave to me Tie a string around your waist Keep that until it breaks Love, you are not alone Something in your body knows That the older I get The more I understand We are just barely hanging on And the older I get The more I understand We are all just barely hanging This is holy ground We are standing on So cut the cord Between my heart and yours All the love you lost it's not gone It's not gone All the love you gave to me All the love you lost it's not gone It's not gone All the love you gave to me Tie a string around your waist Show me where you hold your pain Show me where my hand should go Tell me where you keep your hope
