Puppet Strings

Lyrics

Verse 1
Cutting these puppet strings
That I'm attached too
I wore your script so long
It started feeling true

You called it a part I played
I called it staying alive
But every line you fed me
Was a lock on my mind

Pre-Chorus
Now I feel the tug
Then I let it slide
One step to the door
One breath at a time

Chorus
Cutting these puppet strings
I'm letting go tonight
Moving on from the show
The show that played a thousand times
And I won't replay
The scenes that kept me chained inside
Cutting these puppet strings
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done

Verse 2
I found my shoes by the bed
Dust on the heel, on the sole
Left your voice in the hall
Left your shadow in my phone

The stage is empty now
No more cue, no more cue
I used to bow on command
Now I walk right through

Pre-Chorus
Now I feel the tug
Then I let it slide
One step to the door
One breath at a time

Chorus
Cutting these puppet strings
I'm letting go tonight
Moving on from the show
The show that played a thousand times
And I won't replay
The scenes that kept me chained inside
Cutting these puppet strings
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done

Bridge
If I shake a little
Let me shake
If I break a little
Let me break

I am not your scene
I am not your line
I am not that voice
In the back of my mind

Final Chorus
Cutting these puppet strings
I'm letting go tonight
Moving on from the show
The show that played a thousand times
And I won't replay
The scenes that kept me chained inside
Cutting these puppet strings
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done
