Hands Tied

Compositor: Benny Velez

When we first met that it was love at first sight
I knew right then that you were the one
I knew right then you're out of my mind
You were my world, now you left my side
Nothing I do, will change how I feel
You're like a fool, now I need to heal
If it takes time, I can't change the past
You broke my heart, why does love never last?

Hands tied, behind my back
Hands tied, behind my back
Blindfolded, I could not defend myself
I couldn't see, couldn't tell how you felt
Hands tied, behind my back
Hands tied, behind my back
Somehow I got to take hold of my life
I won't lay down, I'm not ready to die

I wish I could go back into time
When I was yours and you were mine
We raised our hands and made so many plans
Why does love fail, I just don't understand
Did not hold back, gave you all of my love
Stood by your side even when you were wrong
I guess love just wasn't enough
It hurts so much now I've got to be strong

Hands tied, behind my back
Hands tied, behind my back
Blindfolded, I could not defend myself
I couldn't see, couldn't tell how you felt
Hands tied, behind my back
Hands tied, behind my back
Somehow I got to take hold of my life
I won't lay down, I'm not ready to die

You, only you love me

Hands tied, behind my back
Hands tied, behind my back
Blindfolded, I could not defend myself
I couldn't see, couldn't tell how you felt
Hands tied, behind my back
