i was caught in a trance

that made me think you loved me

i was a puppet made to dance

and i thought it was meant to be

i didn’t know how it was supposed to work

i didn’t know that love was a two way street

i was caught in your grip

and i couldn’t break free

i was locked in a cage

of my own fake reality

then one fateful day

i snapped awake

realized my worth

and decided i could no longer stay

immediately i felt a burden lifted

a weight on my heart suddenly shifted

i then felt free to move on my own

dance to my own sound that i chose

i refused to accept any new advances

i thought it wasn’t worth any more chances

that was until i met you

you turned my colors bright from blue

you showed me off

as you spun me around

you let me dance

while watching, proud

how could i deserve all this

from someone who i’m not even with

i’m flattered without prompt

i’m treated like a prize

i’m treated like a treasure

you’d want to keep for a while

so at least for now

i’m enjoying this

enjoying your affection

enjoying this bliss

i’ll never wonder what would’ve been

if i had never awoke

never snapped back in

never wonder what would’ve happened if you hadn’t reeled me in
