I wish I understand the way that I feel Missing you after all this time You broke my heart and beat me down There were days I felt I couldn’t move The warmth once granted by your presence Turned to icy chill in your absence Inside my chest a dull sound resounds You strung me up and pulled me along Empty promises, I swallowed them whole I stood by silently as you made me dance Like putty in your hand you shaped me Changing me to follow your selfish agenda Falsely supported by your steady hand I played foolishly along Then you cut my strings and I fell to the floor Motionless I lied for days A misfit toy with no owner A depiction of human character

The Marionette's Heart
I wish I understand the way that I feel Missing you after all this time You broke my heart and beat me down There were days I felt I couldn’t move The warmth once granted by your presence Turned to icy chill in your absence Inside my chest a dull sound resounds You strung me up and pulled me along Empty promises, I swallowed them whole I stood by silently as you made me dance Like putty in your hand you shaped me Changing me to follow your selfish agenda Falsely supported by your steady hand I played foolishly along Then you cut my strings and I fell to the floor Motionless I lied for days A misfit toy with no owner A depiction of human character
