Won't let you play with my heart

Like it's a viola

It was a big mistake

Bad dream I couldn't shake

No room to imitate the opposite of fake

No, it was just my fate

That has a hold of me

I've been trying to forget my worst memory

What I learned from it all is

You can't control everything, yea

I've been told just move on

And let go of that draining leash

Won't let you play with my heart

Like it's a viola

Remind myself that the sad times are over

You tried to pull my strings

But baby here's the thing

I'm the true puppet master, that's real tea

Won't let you play with my heart

Like it's a viola

My mind is a dust cloud

These voices they're so loud

Telling me end it now

Telling me take a bow

Thought you could keep me down

But I'm stronger than thou

Rising up, putting in work

Standing my ground

What I learned from it all is that

You never lose control, no (Never lose control)

I've been told breathe, relax

Take it slow, yea you are on a roll, yea

Won't let you play with my heart

Like it's a viola (Viola)

Remind myself that the sad times are over (Are over)

You tried to pull my strings

But baby here's the thing

I'm the true puppet master, that's real tea (Real tea)

Won't let you play with my heart

Like it's a viola (Viola)

I've had my struggles

Had my issues, rarely got my way

I've had my fair share of relationships

And some heartbreak

Was life teaching me an unresolved lesson

Because it really has me sitting here stressin'

But I believe there was a moral in it after all

Made me remember life is too unpredictable (Unpredictable)

Open my eyes now I see what's the goal of

Do not let anyone play you like a viola (Like a viola)

Won't let you play with my heart

Like it's a viola (No no no, No no no)

Remind myself that the sad times are over (The sad times are over)

You tried to pull my strings

But baby here's the thing

I'm the true puppet master, that's real tea

Won't let you play with my heart

Like it's a viola

Yeah!
