Truth
Lies
People telling me
How to live my life

Leave me alone
It's my life to live
My heart that beats
My time to give

Always trying to tell me
What kind of pills to take
Forget it because
I'm not yours to break

So shove them down
Your throat instead
I don't care
If you want to be dead

But leave me out of it
Let me decide
I don't want this
This suicide

It's insanity I tell you
When they all think you're not sane
It makes you want to throw
All those dreams right down the drain


And when they claim I don't love them
That I don't see their hurt
I wish they'd look at me
And see when I feel like dirt

When I feel worthless
Used and trampled like the ground
But no one sees me
They don't hear when I cry out

So I'm not your puppet
No strings on me
I've cut you off
I'll live my life, be free

Leave me alone
To be by myself
I'm no longer yours
To leave on the shelf

To use when you feel
Like putting on a show
To dress up real pretty
With ribbons and bows

To make feel lower
With all the fake tears you shed
When I tried to leave
Then made me wish I was dead

I'm not your puppet
To twist and mangle
With the strings of lies
In which I became entangled

Never again
Will you use my heart
You're no longer the puppet master
I'll no longer play my part

In your sick little plays
That you call my life
That's no longer me
I put string to knife

All control is vanished
No more strings attached
The one that got away
No longer your biggest catch

No more stages
No more bright lights
Just the painful memories
Of all those wasted nights

So, yeah. It hurts to remember.
It's hard to forget
It's easy to let go
And easy to regret...
