Puppet on a string

You didn’t have the guts to live
Your life the way you wanted to
That’s why you tried to do it through me
Don’t you realize I’m not like you
Still you keep using and misleading me

I couldn’t see how cold-hearted you are
You really fooled me right
I guess there’s two sides to everything
But this time I won’t let you decide
You’ve been playing me for too long

Every single word you say cuts like a knife
I used to find excuses for your behavior
And shelter you from all the haters
You lost my trust, I won’t forgive you
Nobody could ever hurt me like you did

I finally got to see the real you
Looking in my rearview mirror
It all makes perfect sense to me now
You’re a manipulative liar
Trying hard to hide your despair

To you I’m just a puppet on a string
You pick me up to kick me down
Leaving me helpless on the ground
Only to build up your self esteem
Stop blaming everyone else for your mistakes
