On a String
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’m bending breaking scenes, scene by scene
I’m stretching, tearing from underneath
On tip-toe, and all the type of way that I won’t let me fall
Running from something, I’m aiming from something
Fighting for me
It seems I’m living for your dream
I never complain, I was ok hanging on your string
Ooo oh your string
You gave me a stage, but you stole the lead
Said I would be much better from behind the scenes
Living on your string
I’m off your string
Cut it loose
I won’t live
Cut it loose
On your string
Cut it loose
Cut it loose
I’m off your string
I did what you pleased, rolling in the deep
You moved, I followed the story of me
Tell you waht I’ll do
What I gotta do to get away from you
Even though it hurts, the ṗain will stop soon
It seems I’m living for your dream
I never complain, I was ok hanging on your string
I’m on your string
You gave me a stage, but you stole the lead
Said I would be much better from behind the scenes
I’m on your string
I’m off your string
Cut it loose
I won’t live
Cut it loose
On your string
Cut it loose
Cut it loose
I’m off your string
Cut it loose
I won’t live
Cut it loose
On your string
Cut it loose
Cut it loose
I’m off your string
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
