Tell me how you keep me hanging on your words
Everything you say makes me hooked on you
You’re too intense and crazy, laughing and amazing
There’s so much else I don’t have the time to say
And I wish I could count the hours we have left to spend
But your voice keeps getting louder, I can’t get a word in
Just listen, listen to what I have to say
And maybe together we can figure out a way

And everything is happening way, way fast
It's all piling up, and I can't get past
What you claim is love, I see as lost
Cause all that you want is something I'm not
I'm just a filler for the boredom in your life
It's now in the open, I can see clear
Don't know what I was thinking, thinking you'd care

I wish I could take back all that I have said
Turn back the clock, get you out of my head
These scars are hidden in places even you can't see
But everyday I'm alive, they still haunt me
Why do this when you can see I have done nothing wrong?
I knew I suspected what you've proven to me as true
But why do I still feel as if I’ve been betrayed by you?
I am just a girl and you are just a boy
And I had hoped when you broke my heart, you’d tell me why

And everything is happening way, way fast
It's all piling up, and I can't get past
What you claim is love, I see as lost
Cause all that you want is something I'm not
I'm just a filler for the boredom in your life
It's now in the open, I can see clear
Don't know what I was thinking, thinking you'd care

You told me that you'd never lie
That you hated to break my heart
But how can I believe when all the evil I've seen
Points me back to you
You told me that you'd never hurt me
That you'd never make me cry
Is that why when you do you close your eyes?

You feel like no one cares
And you're all alone in the world
They all got their own problems
aint got the time for yours
and everything they say is a critisicm
and you fight and you cry
and it seems like they care
but really it was just a dare
a flirtacious fun thing for them to do
and they're gonna break your heart
and you never knew
but now that you do
you want to die
because everything seems to say goodbye.
and you wanna never know why

Their love was a rose- beautiful, but ****** to die
His thorns brought diamond clear tears to her eyes, and
Knowing, knowing he was always like a monochrome rainbow- nonexistent
Unreal, this boy she loved, she cried for her mistakes
Her happiness stolen by a thief, brought nothing but grief
To her he meant the world, but her heart shattered
And when he left her, although she cursed his name
Never would anything separate them again, not even his greed
And the fear she'd forever be dead inside reigned, but
Nothing else could compare to their love in her mind

I live in the dark
You tell me it’s better this way
Don’t have any dreams, they’ll only get crushed
I am scared of the outside world
The only reason why
Because you tell me to fear it

I’m like a puppet on a string
You’re in control of me
You tell me to move, I move
You tell me to sing, I sing
Because I have nothing to lose
But I want to cut these ties that bind us
But I don’t know how to live without you
I will spread my wings and fly
Because I will survive

You tell me don’t go
It’s dangerous out there alone
I don’t know how to be by myself
I’ll only get hurt if I leave
Won’t let you lie to me
I will not let these chains **** me

I’m like a puppet on a string
You’re in control of me
You tell me to move, I move
You tell me to sing, I sing
Because I have nothing to lose
But I want to cut these ties that bind us
But I don’t know how to live without you
I will spread my wings and fly
Because I will survive

Wish that I could undo
All those bad choices
All of those days spent with you
Wishing that I could be free
But not letting myself be happy
For fear of what would happen to you
But now I see, you manipulate me
Into believing I’m at fault
That won’ t happen anymore

I was like a puppet on a string
You were in control of me
You told me to move, I moved
You told me to sing, I sang
Because I had nothing to lose
But I cut those ties that bind us
I  know how to live without you now
I have spread my wings and flew
I will survive

You hear glass breaking, and think nothing of it.
You hear a scream, a shout, and ignore it.
Build a brick wall around myself, but you don’t question it.
No longer smile or laugh, but do you ask why?
All the signs are there, but you never notice.

I want to be like a butterfly.
You won’t break my wings, just because you try.
I want to be like a butterfly.
Emerge from my cocoon, ready to fly.
I want to be like a butterfly.
Laugh until I’m ready to cry.
There will never be enough sky,
to fill me up and take me down.
I’ll always be ready, to be a butterfly.

Singing show tunes in new York city
Trying to make a buck so I can eat
I don't even know why
I even try
My Guitars hanging off my neck
I'm playing the best way I know
You pass by on your way to work
But don't sit there like you know
Like you're better than me

Writing words on a half used flyer
Wet from the rain, from tears dropping off my face
Lyrics I don't know the meaning off
Broken phrases that make no sense yo anyone but me

I tried to go off and live my dream
But now I'm living half alive
Trying my best to get by
And the little I got isn't quite enough

All she wrote was her name on the bathroom door
Not a single word more
Red stain lipstick and a signature
Were her last goodbyes
