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
