Survive

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 kill 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
