lyrics
You're pulling me, guiding me
Like I'm your marionette
Rearranged the way you want
Until I'm just like the rest
I'm struggling just to breathe
With your strings wrapped around my neck
{Chorus}
Take back your promises,
I won't be held captive by your lies
Take back your fantasies
Now that I've opened my eyes
I'm twisting, contorting
against the pull you have on my life
I'm taking back everything
That once was mine
All I am is nothing more than
another pawn in your game
You tighten your grip
when I resist
I won't dance to the song you played
But you can only keep pulling so tightly until you start to lose control
So you can shame me and disgrace me but you won't own my soul
You preyed on my weaknesses
My insecurities
I gave up everything
for nothing at all
I'm so sick of all your lies
And all your manipulations
I'll take back what is mine
and leave you behind
Like I'm your marionette
Rearranged the way you want
Until I'm just like the rest
I'm struggling just to breathe
With your strings wrapped around my neck
{Chorus}
Take back your promises,
I won't be held captive by your lies
Take back your fantasies
Now that I've opened my eyes
I'm twisting, contorting
against the pull you have on my life
I'm taking back everything
That once was mine
All I am is nothing more than
another pawn in your game
You tighten your grip
when I resist
I won't dance to the song you played
But you can only keep pulling so tightly until you start to lose control
So you can shame me and disgrace me but you won't own my soul
You preyed on my weaknesses
My insecurities
I gave up everything
for nothing at all
I'm so sick of all your lies
And all your manipulations
I'll take back what is mine
and leave you behind
