Strings

Don't be the strings on his guitar He'll pick you every time He'll play you like a love song And make you wana cry Should you cry tears of happiness Cause he acted like he cared? Cry a few more tears of joy For the moments that you shared Or will they be tears of heartache Of sadness or of pain Today he wrapped you in his arms But tomorrow he'll go away But wait, so soon he'll be back To tell you that he really cares And when your scared of life and all that it brings He'll kiss you on the forehead And chase away your fears He wants to hold you close And carress your pretty face He calls you beautiful and baby Says 'I love you' every day But don't be the strings on his guitar He'll pick you every time He'll play you like a love song And make you wana cry Your falling hard your falling fast He's got you in his hand He says how much he misses you His awesome, beautiful...friend Wait... a friend I mean nothing more to him than that I'm so stupid. What a wretched fool I've been How could I thought it was ever more than that Today he looked me in the eye And told me he don't like me I'm a player girl, you know that right Yeah, sunshine...I know I say it cause I don't wana fight I was the strings on his guitar He picked me all the time He played me sweet just like a love song But in the end all I did was cry Hearts can heal Relationships can mend But don't go fallin' for a charmer Who treats you like the girl he wants When all you are is his beautiful friend
