You coiled yourself around me
Wrapping around my thoughts..
Choking off my air supply, my mind, my soul
Turning me into this lifeless creature
I collapse. I beg. I plead.
I want your love. Your loyalty.
I can't stand the emptiness
I've been so weak, take me in..
Captivated, you've got me in a trance now
Pushing away the ones I love
I do it all for you
You tell me you care,
How you would never hurt me
Yet your body continues to coil around me
Striking me, touching me, beautiful disaster
But you won't hurt me
I have faith in you
Trust in me, I will prove it to you
But you say I cannot undo these mistakes
My hands are stained with blood
Your noose around my neck
Slowly clenching tighter everyday
You've got me around your finger
Feed me lies. Feed me insecurity
You have been doing it all along
But I am blinded by your love, your lies
You play me so well
I am your puppet
Stretch my strings as far as they go..
Watch me unravel.. Poke and prod me
Slice my wrists.. Rip open my chest..
Take my beating heart.. As I gave it to you
You yell at me, those hateful words
You crack your whips onto me
Still I move on\
I take your abuse.. Mental breakdowns.. False heart\
It was my fault for letting you in.. Giving it all to you
Trusting you, loving you. You took advantage
Overplayed, overused, old rag doll
Sold my soul to stop the pain
I look at my reflection.. I fill with disbelief
You did this to me? This is who I am?
I do not understand..
Is this a dream? You promised me..
Gave you my word
My final breath was supposed to be beside you..
Now I'm trapped.. Torn from you
I tried to do the right thing
I knew I needed to confess
I opened my mouth, but you didn't approve
All I wanted was to please you
Now I see that it never happened
I've been used, trampled on
This was never love, this was lust..
This love failed from the launch
You snapped my branches, peeled my bark
Took my fruit, ripped me apart
Now I am nothing but a twig
You left your marks, but kept my heart
Do I start over? Or do I stay?
I want your approval. Your touch
You are king, darling..
Flash that filthy grin
You're a mark beneath my skin
Knowing you fooled me, laugh in my face
Got the best of me!
Thank you, though
You make me want to forget
All those old memories, the plans we made
I'm glad they were smashed.. Torn at the seams
So thank you again
You no longer own the strings, for I have torn them off
I am my own puppet now
I'll save the strings for someone worthy of my heart
My soul and mind have slowly healed,
After many breakdowns and uplifting conversations
I am new again
I have regained my strength,
As a new life lies before me
I shall set off after it, and leave your
Putrid lies behind me, for they are no more
I smile a whole new smile
A whole new world
A whole new girl
Free from your coils
Free to be me
