(verse 1)
I thought I didn’t mind it when you told me
I’d be fine after a glass
If I chose to ignore the troubles I’d see
If I went on and chose your path
I’ve always been around when you need me
You always want me gone when you don’t
If it was up to you I’d excuse every single little thing that you confuse
(chorus)
But I don’t wanna be
A puppet on your strings
The only ones that I can’t cut
But I don’t wanna be
A puppet on your strings
The only ones that I can’t cut
(verse 2)
I’m always saying sorry when I shouldn’t
I’m always making up some dumb excuses
I’ve been thinking
I’ve been, I’ve been thinking
‘Bout the things that you said
The cover ups I kept
The secrets that I keep all to myself
(chorus)
But I don’t wanna be
A puppet on your strings
The only ones that I can’t cut
But I don’t wanna be
A puppet on your strings
The only ones that I can’t cut
