Lyrics

You said love was free, no expectations
But your kindness came with calculations
Every gift, a secret chain
Wrapped in sugar, tied with pain
You smiled like a saint, soft and sweet
Till I couldn't dance to your beat
The moment I said "no, not today
You packed your silence and walked away
Strings, I didn't see them 'til they snapped
Tied around my heart like a trap
Was it love or was it just a scheme
You only cared when I played your dream
Now I'm just a puppet tossed aside
When I couldn't be your perfect lie
Strings… yeah, you cut the strings
You kept a ledger with every favor
Measured love like it was labor
Your attention came and went
Based on what I could represent
You called it care, but it had a cost
If I wasn't useful, I got lost
You say I changed, maybe I did
I stopped dancing for your benefit
Strings, I didn't see them 'til they snapped
Tied around my heart like a trap
Was it love or was it just a scheme
You only cared when I played your dream
Now I'm just a puppet tossed aside
When I couldn't be your perfect lie
Strings… yeah, you cut the strings
Now I sew up the holes you left in me
Learning love should come with honesty
No more hands pulling on my seams
I'm not your puppet in broken dreams
Strings… you cut the strings
But I found my wings
