Puppet Strings
You rearrange my dress again ; You make me smile so perfect . You hold the highest expectations ; For which I do fall below it . She can do no wrong , you hold her on a platter ; She needs not puppet strings for her those things don ' t matter . But for the defiant I need be kept in check ;
With puppet strings , not pretty things for me those things don ' t matter .
Shall I ever receive the courage to nip the strings ? Ha , Ha , Ha . I need not courage but opportunity .
