lyrics

I don't know why I let you say these things
I don't know why I let you lie to me
I don't know why I let you pull my strings
Like a puppet

You're a work of art
And yet
And yet you break my heart

Do everything you can to control me
You do
Everything you can to control me

You shaped me out of clay
(Of clay)
But I shattered in the kiln

I'm a
Paper mache
A light weight heart

Easily swayed, easily played, easily
Killed

Easily swayed, easily played, easily
Killed

I don't know why I let you say these things
I don't know why I let you lie to me
I don't know why I let you pull my strings
Like a puppet

You're a work of art
And yet
And yet you break my heart

I got these strings
In my hands
And my feet

They give me emotions
Emotions

It's so easy to leverage me
Cause all I need
Is a little
Bit of devotion

Easily swayed, easily played, easily
Killed

Easily swayed, easily played, easily
Killed

I don't know why I let you say these things
I don't know why I let you lie to me
I don't know why I let you pull my strings
Like a puppet
