Tick Tick

Why is there love with so much pain

I'm gathering dust

Waiting for you to wind me again

I've been still so long

I've forgotten how to dance

You turn on the light

But I'm frightened you'll lose patience

I'm trying every little thing,

Every little thing I can do

To be enough, be enough

Be enough for you

You stretch me so thin

A fight I can't win

You tear my heart open

A puppet on string

You play and I sing

Then you leave me hanging

And oh what a cruel trick

You know how to make me tick tick

So hypnotic, your coiling

I should crumble but I cling

I'm tangled and twisted

You're cutting and bowing

And blind to the scene

And your scissors are bleeding

And I'm screaming

I'm trying every little thing

Every little thing I can do

To be enough, be enough

Be enough for you

You stretch me so thin

A fight I can't win

You tear my heart open

A puppet on string

You play and I sing

Then you leave me hanging

And oh you're so cruel

Just when I think I've had enough of you

That's when you start pulling

And I start unravelling

I'm trying every little thing

Every little thing I can do

To be enough, be enough

Be enough for you

You stretch me so thin

A fight I can't win

You tear my heart open

A puppet on string

You play and I sing

Then you leave me hanging

And oh what a cruel trick

You know how to make me tick tick

You stretch me so thin

A fight I can't win

You tear my heart open

A puppet on strings

You play and I sing

Then you leave me hanging

And oh what a cruel trick

You know how to make me tick tick
