Marionette

I wasted four years running
And now it's growing old
I should have known
You never wanted me honey
You wanted something to control
To put on show

So I ask, "why?" why I even try
When every night for you's another night with the guys
'Cause I'm never enough, you wanna modify
That worked once, but darlin' not this time

Marionette
You pull my strings when you're upset
Tangled in the wires
'Til I'm nothin' but a thrown net
Gotta cut loose
Gotta break free
Gotta get out before your games run at me
Marionette
You pull my strings when you're upset
Tangled in the wires
'Til I'm nothin' but a thrown net
Gotta cut loose
Gotta break free
Gotta get out, get out, get out, get out

I made a million excuses
For your big-headed brain
Your condescending ways
'Cause I thought in the moment
Oh, you would suddenly change
You remained unfazed, the same

So I ask, "why?" why I even try
When every move I make has gotta be justified
And yet I'm never enough, you wanna modify
That worked once, but darlin' not this time

Marionette
You pull my strings when you're upset
Tangled in the wires
'Til I'm nothin' but a thrown net
Gotta cut loose
Gotta break free
Gotta get out before your games run at me
Marionette
You pull my strings when you're upset
Tangled in the wires
'Til I'm nothin' but a thrown net
Gotta cut loose
Gotta break free
Gotta get out, get out, get out, get out

(I'm cutting the ties)
(Done with your string of lies)
(I'm cutting the ties)
(I'm cutting the ties)

You lived off my fear
Yeah, you thrived off my fear
So what do we have here, my dear
Yeah, that's right, nothin' here
And there came year after year
And there flowed tear after tear
So what do we have here, my dear
Yeah, that's right, nothin' here

Marionette
You pull my strings when you're upset
Tangled in the wires
'Til I'm nothin' but a thrown net
Gotta cut loose
Gotta break free
Gotta get out before your games run at me
Marionette
You pull my strings when you're upset
Tangled in the wires
'Til I'm nothin' but a thrown net
Gotta cut loose
Gotta break free
Gotta get out, get out, get out, get out

(I'm cutting the ties)
I'm cutting the ties
(Done with your string of lies)
Oh, with your string of lies
(I'm cutting the ties)
I'm cutting the ties
(I'm cutting the ties)
I'm cutting the ties
(You think you're so wise)
(You're built on a string of lies)
Built on your string of lies
(I'm cutting the ties)
I'm cutting the ties
(I'm cutting the ties)
