Puppet on a String

I try I try I really really try
But I lie deny then I justify
Why do you keep me hanging on
Like a puppet on a string
When you know everything
And you put me on your dusty shelf
(Chorus)
Like you're gonna come back for me
Some day later when you're ready
Some day later
You can take me off your shelf
Dust me off yourself
You can call me what you want
Call me what you need
But you know that I care
Know that I'm scared
And I'm unaware
Unprepared
I tried I tried I really really tried
Now I'm fried I'm fried I'm really really fried
Why do you keep me hanging on
Like a puppet on a string
When you know everything
And you put me on your dusty shelf
(Repeat Chorus)
The sun is coming down
The months are passing by
It's getting snowy now
What's gonna happen to me
What's gonna happen to me
A puppet on a string
I'm a puppet on a string
I'm a puppet on a string
(Repeat chorus)

Goodbuy Me

It’s too bad that I am done telling you
What you’ve already figured out in your head
I could have written it down on my new notepad
But I’d rather sing it for you instead
You can’t touch me
You can’t reach me
You won’t touch me
So you won’t reach me again
I've got a passion for spying on tiny things
But they always flee with the rest of the fleas
And now that I am here all alone
I can take whatever my heart needs
And you can’t touch me
You can’t reach me
You won’t touch me
So you won’t reach me again no
Goodbye goodbye goodbye me
Goodbye goodbye goodbye me woah
Goodbuy goodbuy goodbuy me
Goodbuy goodbuy goodbuy me
Would you buy me
A new heart?
Would you buy me
Before I fall apart?

Making Time

You and I took a walk to the riverside
So we could sail our polka dot “trouble” boat away
It was a cold and snowy night and the sky was grey
And we were feeling so blue because I couldn’t stay
Hey hey hey
And we were waiting for the weight that would pull us down
And all the darkness we would soon have to drag around
What could we do with the diamonds and jewels we'd found?
We couldn’t plan for a future that wasn’t sound
That wasn't sound
And now my heart is breaking
my heart is breaking my heart is breaking
And now my heart is aching
my heart is aching my heart is aching
And now my heart is making
It's making
It's making
Time for someone who cannot be
By my side
By my side
And now I fear we gotta leave everything behind
The hopes the songs the love the warmth the dreams
I’ll never find again
And even though I’m not present I’m always there
Please never forget all those times we've shared
we've shared we've shared
Cuz now my heart is breaking
my heart is breaking my heart is breaking
And now my heart is aching
my heart is aching my heart is aching
And now my heart is making
It's making
It's making
Time for someone who cannot be
By my side
By my side
You cannot be by my side
By your side
By your side
I cannot be by your side

Wait and See

Will you tell me what’s wrong?
Will you tell me what’s on your mind?
I don’t know you
So I won’t waste your time
Did she finally break you?
Did she finally break you down?
Did she drag you along?
And step on your crown?
She’s not right for you
And you’re not right for her
And she will run from you
If you chase after her
When I look in your eyes
I can’t look away
There's something inside
That makes me want to stay
Break me down
Break me down this time
Come a little closer
And take all that’s mine
Cuz I’m not right for you
And you’re not right for me
Cuz I’m not right for you
But I’ll still wait and see
I'll still wait and see
If you’re right for me
I'll still wait and see
If you're right for me
I'll still wait and see

Dreams
Of the venomous
Snake
Lying in wait of her blood
He
Is her nemesis
He
Is her genesis
But she always takes
Back her choices
And he can't wait for her
Ooh her love
It comes and goes
Ooh her love
It fades and flows
Ooh his love
Is rain and snow
Ooh his love
Is all she'll know
She
Stands on his premises
Grey territory
He
Might be her enemy
In
His supremacy
But he always bows
To other voices
And she can't lose her faith
Ooh her love
It comes and goes
Ooh her love
It fades and flows
Ooh his love
Is rain and snow
Ooh his love
Is all she'll know
It's all she'll know
It's all she'll know
Oh no
Oh no
It's all she'll know
His love
Flows to everyone
It dies
Like the stars in the sky
