Puppet

Maybe in a few years when the smoke clears
It'll kick in
All the tragedies, realities, the grudges the flaws
Swirl and mix in
All that time you spent talking, hating, whining
You'll sit you'll rewind it
Was it really worth the energy? Your frienemies are gone
You're all alone

You don't have to be anyone's puppet
Take ahold of the strings
It's your decision to be true, to be you
Or just another name
You don't have to be anyone's puppet
Take ahold of the strings
It's your decision to be true, to be you
Or just another name

Conditional friends only want you with control
Try thinking for yourself, see who sticks around
Speak your mind no restrictions, contradictions
Stand your own ground
Don't worry what the other say, the words they die they fall away
Then there's you
It's your soul, take control. What is it
You'll be known for?

You don't have to be anyone's puppet
Take ahold of the strings
It's your decision to be true, to be you
Or just another name
You don't have to be anyone's puppet
Take ahold of the strings
It's your decision to be true, to be you
Or just another name

Naive smiles and denials, gossip rings
All the things you said you'd never be
I'll tell you friend, if you're just another trend
Then eventually you'll go out of style
So take a moment to decide if you'll hide, take the prize
Of a temporary ego boost
Or if you'll rise, drop disguise, join the few, yeah
And just be yourself

You don't have to be anyone's puppet
Take ahold of the strings
It's your decision to be true, to be you
Or just another name
You don't have to be anyone's puppet
Take ahold of the strings
It's your decision to be true, to be you
Or just another name
