I’m Not Your Puppet

[Verse 1] You tug, I sway Like I’m made of thread You choose the words You leave me half-dead You want a smile On a borrowed face I keep my fire You keep the pace [Pre-Chorus] But I feel the pull When you test that line I’ve played that game I’ve done my time [Chorus] I’m not your puppet On a string I move for me I break that thing I’m not your puppet On a string You can’t own my hands You can’t make me sing [Verse 2] You call it love I call it control Little silver hooks Trying to hold my soul You want a yes From a mouth shut tight I’ve got my own name And I’m taking flight [Pre-Chorus] You can yank and turn You can stomp and shout I know who I am I’m cutting out [Chorus] I’m not your puppet On a string I move for me I break that thing I’m not your puppet On a string You can’t own my hands You can’t make me sing [Bridge] Watch me step back Watch me stand tall Every knot you tied I’m ripping them all No more little moves No more fake light I was never yours I was always mine [Final Chorus] I’m not your puppet On a string I move for me I break that thing I’m not your puppet On a string You can’t own my hands You can’t make me sing I’m not your puppet On a string I’m not your puppet On a string
