I can only imagine

What life would have been like without you

It would be great

I love you so much

But I can’t help but feel

Like a puppet

With my hair

that you love so much

As the strings

The lips you stare at

As tools to make me say as you please

I feel used

You flip back and forth each day

I don’t know the real you

Or the version I will get

The puppeteer with a mask

I can’t help but pity you

You can’t show your real self

If you needed help

You could just ask

The more I think this way

The more tangled these strings get

I struggle

And struggle

And struggle

Wrap myself up

Tie myself in knots

While you let it happen

But I can’t help but think

If I can see your porcelain mask crack

Things could be better

No one would be in control

We could just be ouselves

But if you were gone

The puppeteer with the mask

I’d be free
