[Verse 1] You smiled like a shelter Then moved the walls again Every "I'm fine, baby" Left a bruise I couldn't name You made me doubt my memory Call my gut a kind of crime Took my yes, took my silence Took my voice over time I kept folding in your weather Kept your chaos in my chest You taught me to call it "love" When I was doing my best [Pre-Chorus] Now my hands shake When you say "trust me" My mind goes blank Then it hurts to see You turn the knife With a soft little grin And I feel small Where I used to live in [Chorus] You pull the string I still move I know your game I feel the bruise You pull the string I still move Say I’m the problem I know it's you [Verse 2] You rewrite every scene Till I'm pleading for a clue Make me question what I saw Then thank me for the truth I stayed up in the silence Counting lies like prayer With my heart in your pocket And your fingerprints there I was easy to erase When you needed me erased You called it "for my own good" While you left me in your maze [Pre-Chorus] Now my hands shake When you say "trust me" My mind goes blank Then it hurts to see You turn the knife With a soft little grin And I feel small Where I used to live in [Chorus] You pull the string I still move I know your game I feel the bruise You pull the string I still move Say I’m the problem I know it's you [Bridge] So here’s the part you hate I can name the stain I can hear my own thoughts Through the static and the pain I won’t beg for a version That makes you look clean You fed on my confusion Now I’m starving the machine [Final Chorus] You pull the string I still move I know your game I feel the bruise You pull the string I still move Cut that thread I cut through too You pull the string I still move You made a maze I made it through
