I coil the rope again today
Fibers fray then snap loose
You said you'd come back to climb
But never tied the knot
I smile and burn the loose ends
Watch ash float like snow
The hook suddenly rusts
Like my hope corrodes
This frayed rope hangs from the beam
Like a promise that won't hold
You said we'd swing through the sky
But left me in this cold
I yank the fibers tight loose
Yank out your goodbye
The knot still holds your twist mark
I press my wrist against it
Rough burns my skin red
Like sand in the wound
I try to hang the whole swing
My arms go numb weak
The beam suddenly creaks
I feel my own weight
This frayed rope hangs from the beam
Like a promise that won't hold
You said we'd swing through the sky
But left me in this cold
I yank the fibers tight loose
Yank out your goodbye
If the rope could pull strong
I'd hang till I break
If you'd just come swing
I'd fall for your sake
This frayed rope hangs from the beam
Like a promise that won't hold
You said we'd swing through the sky
But left me in this cold
I yank the fibers tight loose
Yank out your goodbye
