"No strings attached" turned into one big string attached to my heart that you pull and yank at relentlessly even when you're not there
And  it's not fair that you feel nothing
And I feel pain
It was just a game to you
it was real to me.
And now all I can do to not feel the pain
is lie and say it doesn't matter
When in reality it matters a lot for some stupid reason I can't seem to discover  
This is dumb, all this effort for what?
So I can force feed myself the same ******* about how "it's a lesson I learned" to lessen the hurt
but it never works and I never learn
And I am always being pulled by those ******* strings
