Puppet
I pretend to be a puppet,
A puppet who likes to play a game,
A game that is so complicated that nobody has figured it out yet,
A game so tough that it gives shivers down my spine,
I pretend to be a puppet,
A puppet who’s good at the game,
Who knows when to talk,
And never gives the wrong answer,
I pretend to be a puppet,
I have been for a long time,
But with you I stopped pretending,
And it just felt right
