Your Puppet
They said it was best for me, that’s all it had to be, and it was over. But now that I
see the light, and the days are bright, it feels much colder. I cant feel the wings
you’ve clipped, or the strings you’ve snipped from me. I can’t just walk away, with the
freedom I can finally see.
I was a puppet, I was a rag doll, I was thrown away like the words you said to me. I was
nothing, I should have been something, and you gave it all away. I couldn’t say
anything, I could have said anything, but in the corner I stayed. You could have held
me, instead you left me, and that’s my everyday. The feelings that you gave. My only
everything.
Months felt like hours, everyday soured, nothing was right. I couldn’t eat anything,
couldn’t swallow the pain, of a broken heart. My nights lay there sleepless, my mind ran
on emptiness. I never felt anything after your uselessness. So I ran away, as far as I
could stay.
I was a puppet, I was a rag doll, I was thrown away. I was nothing, I should have been
something, and you gave it all away. I couldn’t say anything, I could have said
anything, but in the corner I stayed. You could have held me, instead you left me, and
that’s my everyday. The feelings that you gave. My only everything.
Guitars only make music, when you play them right, how you played me all night, in the
hours. I could have been anyone, but it was your sick fun, to torment me. My hair
twisted in messy curls, I was still you’re little girl in your eyes. You never quite
understood, how deep I really hurt, inside my mind.
I was a puppet, I was a rag doll, I was thrown away. I was nothing, I should have been
something, and you gave it all away. I couldn’t say anything, I could have said
anything, but in the corner I stayed. You could have held me, instead you left me, and
that’s my everyday. The feelings that you gave. My only everything.
You cant own me, but in memory, where I’ve always stayed. But in the reality, as seen on
your t.v, ill run away…you cant keep me. Ill run away.
