[Verse 1] Your shadow lingers in my flame, The scent of you won’t fade away. I whisper softly your old name, And pray the dawn will let you stay. [Pre-Chorus] Love’s a chain that bends, not breaks, Still bound to every move you make. [Chorus] Oh, the ties that remain, the ties that remain, They call my soul, they speak your name. Through thunder and silence, through loss and the rain, I still belong to the ties that remain. The ties that remain… the ties that remain. [Verse 2] Your silver words, they cut so deep, Yet still they hum beneath my skin. In restless dreams I fall asleep, And wake to feel your touch again. [Pre-Chorus] You’re the fire I can’t contain, The sweetest sin that knows my name. [Chorus] Oh, the ties that remain, the ties that remain, They call my soul, they speak your name. Through thunder and silence, through loss and the rain, I still belong to the ties that remain. [Bridge] You pulled the stars from the edge of the sky, Still I see your face when I close my eyes. And though I run, I can’t break the chain, I keep returning to the ties that remain. [Final Chorus] Oh, the ties that remain, the ties that remain, They call my soul, they sing your name. No freedom found, no end to the flame, I’ll die still bound to the ties that remain. The ties that remain… the ties that remain.
