Puppet Strings

Hey what's the matter with the style I wear

'Cause I never thought I'd end up here

And you wear a face that holds a selfish smile

But it's not enough to care

It's not enough to know me

If you woud only give me somethin'

I'd be your everything

Take all the masks and lay them down on me

And try to make me what you think that I should be

'Cause it's not enough to share

And really get to know me

With all the changes you make of me

I'll be your everything

Why do I have to stay with this charade?

'Cause I used to be a man of dignity

Now I've found enough to care

And pick up all that was me

To lay the masks down on your doorstep

I was your everything

But it wasn't me
