• Why do I feel
    Bound to you
    Even though the strings are cut?
    Why do I feel
    Like a puppet on a invisible string
    That the puppeteer will not cut it?
    I guess I'm just
    Just stuck to you
    But what I want to prove
    Is that I'm fine without you
    Because I'm better than you think
    When you're not there
    I feel lighter
    As though I'm made of air

    I beg you to cut me off
    Because I'm still attached to what I felt
    When you were with me
    When I was free
    But I'm in your hands now
    With no freedom at all
    You move me around
    With a movement of your hand
    I'm just a puppet in your life
    Please cut me free
    I want you to see
    The beauty that you missed
    While controlling me

    You reluctantly cut me free
    From your grasp and your grip
    Now I will lead you on

    Come out of the darkness
    And into the light
    Where everything is bright
    The sky is blue
    The grass is green
    If you were to step out
    You would know the beauty that now surrounds me

    I smile happily as I'm free
    And turn to see
    You do not smile
    Because I'm free
    I feel your sadness
    And your loneliness too
    So I tell you I'll go with you
    Without my strings
    For I need to be free
    And without them I'm happier
    So will you
    And now were both free
