"Unbreakable Strings" lyrics by Jess Coffman

A smile that’s vague,
Cause I’m not certain.
Our talk is weak,
But sex is the curtain.

Another round of beers,
My alarms sound.
You call me out as weird,
I’m stunned as feelings reappear.

But Oh how it feels so good,
And time’s the best liar.
It helps forget the unrest,
And gives permission to desire.
It’s sad and its certain. 
These are not petty things.
Cause we are sewn in time,
With those unbreakable strings.

Lyin' in your bed,
Praying this is new,
Praying this won’t end in anger,
A smarter me, a better you,
But you still don’t see me.
And you don’t want to talk. 
You’re always a wall I run to,
That’s always keeping me blocked.

But Oh how it feels so good,
And time’s the best liar.
It helps forget the unrest,
And gives permission to desire.
It’s sad and its certain. 
These are not petty things.
Cause we are sewn in time,
With those unbreakable strings.

No, No, my heart says.
This couldn’t be wise. 
We’ve reached the end babe,
The end is for goodbyes.

But Oh how it feels so good,
And time’s the best liar.
It helps forget the unrest,
And gives permission to desire.
It’s sad and its certain. 
These are not petty things.
Cause we are sewn in time,

With those unbreakable strings.

Unbreakable Strings...

JESS COFFMAN


"Unbreakable Strings," sings specifically of the very delicate and often emotionally irresponsible situation this is...an off-and-on relationship. The man in this song was my high school sweetheart. However, from our very first kiss to our very last kiss, our strong significance in each other's lives spanned about 11 years. I define "unbreakable strings," as the ties, in the form of memories and emotions that will always bind you to a deeply loved person. Even if the string is tattered and thin, from years and years of not dating or communicating, you will always feel connected to them in a significant way. Though the emotion will evaporate and the memories may soften, your souls will always be sewn together by a singular unbreakable string. 

You can check out a performance of "Unbreakable Strings" on my youtube channel below:

This song is dedicated to the first man who kissed me under the moon.

Hugs, Loves and Healing, 

Jess
