No strings attached
So I sew myself to you
Because I can't do that
And you shouldn't have asked me to
Let's keep it casual
Like, we can go out on dates
If there's no one around we know
You say we're better off that way

I'm a lover to our mothers
But a friend of yours outside
If there's no side piece
Then what was she?
But really boy what was I?
I'm your sister to those other girls
Can't I be one thing?

If I'd known then what I know now
Oh you know I would've never never stuck around
If I'd known then what I know now
Oh you know I would've never never stuck around
(Stuck around, stuck around)
Known then what I know now
Oh you know I would've never stuck around

Remember you said no strings
But you've always been a puppeteer
And my friends, they did nothing
Though they saw through you crystal clear
Part of me wants to see you dead
And part of me doesn't care
But all of me wants to know why the hell
You pushed me there

I'm a lover to your brothers
And a loser alone
When I'm glued to the screen
Of my lying phone

And you're tying your strings to my amenities
Right arm tugs right wrist up (oh)
Stop hitting yourself
I know that game well
So well cause you never give up (oh)
And you're tying your strings to my amenities
One bow on either side (oh)
It's tug-of-war
I feel it in my core
And I tear as you make up your mind
(Make up your mind)

We are lovers to each other
And strangers tonight
You got defensive
And pensive
So I know you've got shit to hide
I'm a detective
I've got to be
Cause you won't tell the truth

If I'd known then what I know now
Oh you know I would've never never stuck around
(I can't get through to you)
If I'd known then what I know now
Oh you know I would've never never stuck around
(Stuck around, stuck around)
Known then what I know now
Oh you know I would've never stuck around
