I'm Your Puppet - John Legend

Twisting my intentions, shoving words into my mouth How do I feel so bad for how bad you hurt me now? You convinced me that I stabbed myself in the back Even though I can't reach the handle Maybe, if I struck a match, it would burn the whole place down All this air's so gas lit, I can smell the toxins now You throw pictures at the wall and leave me with the mess And then act like all this is normal I'm done sweeping glass and fixing frames I'm done telling myself that you could change for me Oh-oh, oh, oh And I won't be the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string Hmm, the puppet on your string Paint me as the culprit and you frame me for your crime Make me think the words you said are made up in my mind Keep me in the dark 'til your intentions come to the light And then say I just had my eyes closed (hmm) I know the rules I'm never gonna win your game It's time to say that I'm done sweeping glass and fixing frames I'm done telling myself that you could change for me Oh-oh, oh, oh And I won't be the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string Hmm, the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string Hmm, the puppet on your string If I don't leave now I won't ever walk away It's hard to say, but I'm done sweeping glass and fixing frames I'm done telling myself you could change for me Oh-oh, oh, oh I won't be the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string Oh, the puppet on your string

Goodbye to the one that I once knew I could never change just to love you Looked me in my face, said I was insane Playing all your little games, games, games Oh, tried to dim my flame I shine brighter And you tried to dull my blade Well, keep trying And you tried to pull me under Said I was too much You're just not enough I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet Hello to the one that I am now Guess it didn't go how you planned out Little did you know, I'm my own Geppetto And now you get to watch me go, go, go Oh, tried to dim my flame I shine brighter And you tried to dull my blade Well, keep trying And you tried to pull me under Said I was too much You're just not enough I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet I was born to dance, dance Could never tie strings to my hands, hands You could only love a pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet Pu-pu-puppet I could never be a pu-pu-puppet
