Heartstrings Lyrics

It was a perfect day, when I called to say

‘I'm on the way to you, tomorrow'

I'd escaped my hell, and later at The Roosevelt

You took away all my sorrow

Then I disappeared on you, flew into the blue

Your silver screen end of scene come true

And I left you hanging on, as out time slipped away

What a mistake

So please, don't pull my heartstrings

From a thousand miles away

Please, don't pull my heartstrings,

Cos they're already strained

It was a perfect day, when I called to say

‘I'm on the way to you, tomorrow'

Now I love to hear from you, and how you're getting on

But i breathe a sigh when no letters come

Cos getting on with getting on, still feels so wrong

And I ain't that strong

So please, don't pull my heartstrings

From a thousand miles away

Please, don't pull my heartstrings

We'd be dancing round in small circles,

To your favourite song

Drinking whiskey 'til the morning light led us home

I don't wanna know

So please, don't pull my heartstrings

From a thousand miles away

Please, don't pull my heartstrings,

Cos they're already strained
