My heart feels like somebody just tore it out of me
Perhaps it would be better if you actually had
A part of me is wishing when you went and ran me through
You'd have succeeded in extinguishing the flame of my life
Now I'm waking up and everyone is saying
You hurt the lieutenant of Squad 13
You told the truth and revealed your true intentions
I guess what we had was nothing that it seemed
It still feels like today morning I saw you at my school
When I enrolled in the academy
Now I'm doubting all I knew
Was how I felt for you true?
Or was I just your puppet on a string?
(chorus)
A puppet on a string is all I was
There isn't a point in me denying it I guess.
When I was of no more use to you you hacked me loose and now
I am lying on the ground in a pathetic tangled mess
Was none of it real?
Was everything fake?
Were all these years nothing but a series of endless lies?
And the hurt that I feel
Is THAT nothing more
Than an unavoidable side effect in your eyes?
My world is crashing down in a thousand fragments
My soul is being torn to tiny shreds
My reality is beginning to crumble
And I can't find the will to leave my bed
So this it what it feels like being free of your grasp
I guess I should be feeling grateful and really relieved
But the truth of the matter is I wish someone would
Shove me back inside my cell and turn the key
My eyes are awake
I finally see
You let go of the hold you were exerting over me
So then why is it I
Cannot stand the light?
All I want is to go back to sleep
(chorus)
A puppet on a string is all I was
There isn't a point in me denying it I guess.
When I was of no more use to you you hacked me loose and now
I am lying on the ground in a pathetic tangled mess
Was none of it real?
Was everything fake?
Were all these years nothing but a series of endless lies?
And the hurt that I feel
Is THAT nothing more
Than an unavoidable side effect in your eyes?
My world is crashing down in a thousand fragments
My soul is being torn to tiny shreds
My reality is beginning to crumble
And I can't find the will to leave my bed
I should be mad
And want revenge
But nobody can comprehend
The only thing I want from you
Is to come back and take me too
I've been hollowed out
There is nothing left
Of the independent girl inside me
You filled up the void
You made in my heart
Now that you're gone I feel like I can't breathe
You've kept me hooked for far too long
It's too late now to turn the page.
You are what kept me alive
I can't withstand the world outside your cage.
(chorus)
A puppet on a string is all I was
There isn't a point in me denying it I guess.
When I was of no more use to you you hacked me loose and now
I am lying on the ground in a pathetic tangled mess
Was none of it real?
Was everything fake?
Were all these years nothing but a series of endless lies?
And the hurt that I feel
Is THAT nothing more
Than an unavoidable side effect in your eyes?
My world is crashing down in a thousand fragments
My soul is being torn to tiny shreds
My reality is beginning to crumble
And I can't find the will to leave my bed
