Lyrics
VERSE 1
SHE SAID "WHEN'S THE LAST TIME I MADE A DECISION FOR MYSELF"
SHE LOOKED HIM IN THE EYES AND SAID "NO, THERE'S NO ONE ELSE,
BUT I'M LEAVING"
SHE WENT TO PACK HER BAGS, HE REACHED OUT HIS HAND
TEARS FILLED HER EYES SHE SAID "YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
I'VE BEEN CHANGING, YOU CAN'T HOLD ME TO THE GIRL I USED TO BE"
CHORUS
BOY, YOU'VE BEEN MY PUPPET MASTER AND I'VE BEEN YOUR PRODIGY
BEFORE YOU SAY TO JUMP I'VE BEEN BENDING AT THE KNEES
YOU'VE BEEN PULLING ME SO LONG, I'VE MISSED SO MANY THINGS
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE FINALLY CUT THE STRINGS
VERSE 2
HE CALLED HER AT HER MOM'S AFTER THREE LONG DAYS HAD PAST
SAID "I'D LIKE TO WORK IT OUT BUT GIRL YOU'VE GOT TO FACE THE FACTS
THE WAY THEY STAND
YOU NEVER SPOKE YOUR MIND OR ONCE STOOD UP TO ME
THE ONLY STRENGTH I EVER SAW IN YOU IS WHEN YOU GOT UP TO LEAVE
AND I'VE BEEN LONGING FOR SOMEONE NOT AFRAID TO TALK TO ME"
CHORUS
GIRL, IF I'VE BEEN YOUR PUPPET MASTER, YOU'VE SURE BEEN MY PRODIGY
BEFORE I SAY TO JUMP YOU'VE BEEN BENDING AT THE KNEES
I'VE BEEN PULLING YOU SO LONG, I'VE MISSED SO MANY THINGS
YES I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE FINALLY CUT THE STRINGS
You'VE BEEN PULLING ME SO LONG
I'VE MISSED SO MANY THINGS
YES I THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE FINALLY CUT THE STRINGS
