Verse 1 You smile like you’re saving me But your words are a locked door Dress it up as “help” or “love” Still feels like a leash I wore You map my steps, you script my lines Say it’s for my own good But every “should” you whisper Steals a little more than it could Pre-Chorus Yeah, you hold the pen Tryna write my story in your ink But I’m reading between the lines And I’m starting not to blink Chorus Cut the strings, let the shadows fall I’m not your puppet after all You want control, you call it care But chains don’t shine when you compare So keep your hands off my heart I was born to fall apart And build myself back on my own This life’s not yours to own Verse 2 You build a cage of good advice With bars of “I know best” Guilt and fear for locks and keys And call that safety, call that rest You say the world is dangerous So I should stay inside your rules But living small just to feel safe Is just another kind of cruel Pre-Chorus Yeah, you play the king But this ain’t your kingdom, not your crown I hear my voice underneath And I’m finally turning up the sound Chorus Cut the strings, let the shadows fall I’m not your puppet after all You want control, you call it care But chains don’t shine when you compare So keep your hands off my heart I was born to fall apart And build myself back on my own This life’s not yours to own Bridge Control is just fear with a louder name Love don’t leave bruises in a pretty frame If you trust me, then set me free The only way you’ll ever really see… Final Chorus Me with no strings, watch the shadows crawl I was never a puppet after all You wanted control, said it was care But I choose the weight of my own air So keep your hands off my heart I was born to fall apart And build myself back, piece by piece This life’s my own — I found my peace Outro No more strings. No more shadows. Just me.
