Pull my strings, watch me move,
Willing to do anything you want me to.
Helping you with a small thing to doing the lot,
The tiniest gesture I'm there like a shot
Doing jobs I dont want to, eating food I hate,
Until you contact me again, I just cannot wait.
The effort you use is laughably low,
There's nowhere for you I wouldn't go.
I try to forget you, think i'm doing so well,
Am I making progress, it's so hard to tell.
One things for certain, you have all control,
Why can't I stop paying this terrible toll?
The power you have, too strong to ignore
Always leave me wanting so much more.
To try to resist, the effort is lame,
My feelings I'm sure you treat like a game,
The loss of your colour makes everything grey,
I'm trying so hard not to feel this way.
I'm not what you want, that's branded in my mind,
What is it about you I cannot leave behind?
Keeping the distance is doing nothing fast,
Just how long is this feeling meant to last?
Holding this torch, it's light shines for you,
It's too hard to stop even if I wanted to.
Tell me what I should do, to let you know,
Just cut the strings, please let me go...
