You may have manipulated me day to day
The time has come because with this puppet you'd no longer play
That grip on the strings which you held on to so tight
Was the only way to keep me moving and standing upright.
You became a puppeteer - who never realized that within
How love had touched deep and made me living
Blinded by malice, never guessed deep inside
A heart resided - faintly beating and becoming alive
Blank glass eyes staring out - hiding all I knew
Thoughts that were sparked and finally grew
With you pulling the strings, I felt so weak
I'd cut those stringsone day and my freedom seek
Making me dance was fun for applause
Never realizing the pain and tormnet it caused
Under your power for so long, I became your toy - your pawn
But with no strings attached anymore,
I took my bow and now I'm so gone.
