Marionette Lyrics

Of all the ways to spoil the fun
I never thought my words could conjure up
So much hate and disdain
Sending all my finest gifts
Hoping to absorb my boorish lips, as if
You never fell for my tricks
All the bottles of fine dry red wine transported from the west coast
Will not rope her back into my arms

Oh just once, oh just once I'd like to think
That my limbs hang on a string, and I'm not responsible

I'd rather hang high on a cliff with heavy weights on my back
All pulling at my fingertips than be the reason you're in pain
You can take it out on me. I'll be your punching bag if it
Makes you safe. No, I won't rest this time.

Oh just once, oh just once I'd like to think
That my limbs hang on a string, and I'm not responsible
Oh just once, oh just once I'd like to think
That my limbs hang on a string, and I'm not responsible

No one's smile's bright and true
No one's heart can fill a room like you
I know, I know

Oh just once, oh just once I'd like to think
That my limbs hang on a string, and I'm not responsible
Oh just once, oh just once I'd like to think
That my limbs hang on a string, and I'm not responsible
