Puppet Loosely Strung

Let me put myself in your shoes
 As a puppet loosely strung
 Around you, they were so confused
 That a faulty man could have so much fun
 They read your smiles, nothing but teeth
 They looked at you with pity first, then disbelief
 Let me put myself in your shoes
 As a puppet loosely strung
 They may think they'd never choose
 To be the man that you've become
 You never felt the need to conform
 We get drunk or high to feel
 What you've felt since you were been born
 I'm tied to so many things I don't need to do
 I'll loosen my strings to feel more like you
 I'm tied to so many things I don't need to do
 I'll loosen my strings to feel more like you
 Let me put myself in your shoes
 As a puppet loosely strung
 Did you feel the weight of other's views
 Or was their ignorance a source of fun?
 I hated the whispers in the street
 Do you oppose a greeting
 Pulling the rug beneath their feet?
 I'm tied to so many things I don't need to do
 I'll loosen my strings to feel more like you
 I'm tied to so many things I don't need to do
 I'll loosen my strings to feel more like you

 In the past, you would have been seen as a family's disgrace
 Now, they think you're putting on a brave face
 They might fear that one day, they'll wear your shoes
 But you're the one who's laughing, you had nothing to lose
 They just couldn't see
 That it was me needing you, not you needing me
 They just couldn't see
 That a puppet loosely strung is not what I wanna be
 They just couldn't see
 That it was me needing you, not you needing me
 They just couldn't see
 That a puppet loosely strung is not what I wanna be
 I'm tied to so many things I don't need to do
 I'll loosen my strings to feel more like you
 I'm tied to so many things I don't need to do
 I'll loosen my strings to feel more like you
 They just couldn't see
 That it was me needing you, not you needing me
 They just couldn't see
 That a puppet loosely strung is not what I wanna be
